The Allotment in January | January Gardening | Allotment Gardening UK 2025
Dear friends,
Welcome to my first allotment video of 2025. I am giddy with excitement to be out and about in the garden this week. It's very cold but the weather was fine and the sun was shining. There is never any pressure to get started in the garden this early in the year, however when inspiration strikes you may follow. This week I am finally sowing sweet peas and I made a brilliant find in the garden centre of some raspberry cains. I am planting some pansies for a pop of colour and daffodils in the green.
In the video I mention my favourite gardening book is called "Sweet Peas for Summer: How to Create a Garden in a Year" by Laetitia Maklouf. You can buy this second hand from Amazon (UK) and probably eBay or via other second-hand book markets: https://amzn.to/3WrcMuv
You can subscribe to her Substack for free here (less about gardening, more about life in general): https://laetitia.substack.com/
I hope you've enjoyed the garden this week. Please let me know what you've been up to in the comments.
