A new year

It's a new year and a new gardening season. Time to get those gardening gloves out, unpack the seeds and flick through the catalogues.

We've rotated the beds and Mr has drawn up some excellent plans for each one. This is something I recommend - scale diagrams - he has referred to them constantly during the planting season so far.

After making plans, the first task was to prepare a bean trench (digging organic matter into a trench where the beans will be planted). Mr used our own compost which is looking lovely - although you wouldn't think it from looking in the bin from the top. Next was decide on what to sow indoors and when to start - sometimes it is difficult to wait because you just want to start sowing straight away. It feels like there isn't much to do in winter...!
