Betty has told me exactly what I need to be doing just now. How about you? What are your plans for growing your own in January?
Despite the cold and bitter months of winter, there are a number of jobs to start doing in the vegetable garden to ensure that you're home-grown veg supply is bigger and better than the year before (although a lot of the bits and pieces to done in January are very much maintenance related, they are important to ensure a successful garden).
January at a glance:
Mulch last year's leaf-mould into empty beds.
Force rhubarb by covering with an upturned pot.
Choose an area to start creating a compost pile.
Install a water-butt to begin collecting rainwater.
Plant onion seeds on warm windowsills.
