Glorious morning! Polytunnel and weeding talk!!
Successful day in the Poly and I get FOUR eggs from the chickens. Tomorrow it’s spuds and I’ll have a bonfire.
I’m back from the first pub visit of 2020, four pints deep. I have an egg disaster.
Woodpigeons, re wilding and lawn mower talk.
I ponder some of the lessons learned so far on the allotment and plant up some cardoons , beans and purple sprouting broccoli!
I dish out some dubious advice on growing raspberries and find out what my fruit trees are. It’s frosty.
I plan to spend a full day on the allotment and I open my seed delivery! The weeds are a problem now so I will be applying glyphosphate liberally.
On a walk with the dog I ponder whether I’ve bitten off more than I can chew. It’s sunsets and there are bats about.
Gin is a con for the most part. I have a rotten cold so tune in to hear me sniffling in high definition and talking about plants, prison and rotovation.
I’ve planted 160 and I’ve still 90 left! This podcast is from the garden.
A nighttime journey around the allotment with my torch.
I’m planting the hedge on my garden this morning, so no official Bobs Garden action but I do tell you about a chicken mistake I made yesterday!
I search the outbuildings for a suitable chitter and then I chit the spuds. No eggs yet from the chickens, but it is a beautiful day.
I open a box of seeds, it’s not quite what I thought. I explain my hedge dilemma.
Up early and weeding! My seeds ought to arrive today.
An evening on the allotment. I open a beer and let the chickens loose for a walk and a peck about.
The sun is out it’s a glorious morning. Chickens refuse to produce eggs yet and I talk hawthorn hedges!
I reveal the planting list for March and talk Cardoons. It’s even windier than yesterday.
Windy af outside. I’m in the polytunnel on my knees in the muck, weeding. Last weeks seeds have begun to germinate and I talk about my sub-par sprinkler system. This truly is a thrilling series.
Surprise to find the chickens out and about already when I got to the allotment this morning. Gorgeous weather, no jobs.
It’s done, February’s planting is complete and I find a very green caterpillar eating my kale.
Morning! I complete the Beech hedge pruning for the year and you get a chicken update.
Out of breath after shovelling loads of earth about and weeding. I prepare to plant the remainder of last months seeds and wax lyrical about bad fats.
It’s March so is it spring now? Schools go back next week, holy heck. I wander past the onions and the garlic then head into the tunnel.
It’s frosty. We wake the chickens up and get them out of their house for an introduction. I clatter about with the bins half way through this one so perhaps don’t use your headphones!
A short podcast even by Bobs Garden standards. Chicken Town is now population; 8.
It’s the last day that the allotment will be chicken-free. I drink a coffee.
I plant some things into trays and then decide I should put the rest straight into the tunnel. Also I witter on about runner beans.
Real rambler this evening, I navel gaze in the poly tunnel and threaten to actually plant the seeds I bought.
Today I’m collecting molehills in the absence of compost.
