Happy New Year to you. Thank you for stopping by. I’m Clare, welcome to my channel.
In this video I run through all the little jobs us gardeners should stop putting off. Spring is only just over 2 months away. It’s time to make those final preparations, ready for the start of the busy sowing season ahead.
Clean your greenhouse, organise you pots and seed trays and take down and clear away any structures you’ve still got left in your vegetable beds, storing them away to protect them for the next few months from the harsh winter weather.
It’s a gardening tradition to sow chillies and peppers early in January. I wasn’t going to get on board this trend this year, but I have the seeds, so why not?! The FOMO was strong! I sowed several varieties of sweet peppers and share those with you during this video.
I also sowed some sweet peas in to the Garland Deep Root Trainers. If you’ve never used these, and sow peas/beans I promise you won’t regret buying some. They are game changers when it comes to planting out. Find the link to buy at the bottom of this page.
The video finishes up with me also sowing some more cabbages, this variety is called Duncan F1.
I’ve recently hit a truly mind blowing milestone, over 8000 subscribers on YouTube. I can hardly believe it. Thank you to each and every one of you who has hit that button, as well as liked or commented on my videos. If you’re not subscribed already.. WHY NOT? Hit that button and join the community. I have so many plans in 2025 I can’t wait to share with you over the coming months, especially the completion of the Victorian Wash House in to the central hub of my growing space. I’m also incredibly excited to have been awarded 3rd place in Kitchen Garden Magazine’s Top Plotter competition. Such an honour. Mind blowing!
