Making and growing. It was so unseasonably warm today I was actually tempted to the allotment. I confess I am a fair-weather gardener so a mild day in January is a rare chance to get ahead with tasks for spring. Mild weather means more weeds of course, so I spent an hour weeding and mulching fruit bushes then planted some garlic. Ok so that should have been planted ages ago but hey, it has two chances, yes? I was so busy I forgot to take pictures but here are some pics from about this time last year. What a contrast!
And in other news, the other job for January is, of course, marmalade! Nine jars to be precise, just about enought to keep us going till next year. Might make another batch while the oranges are still in the shops, I do like to be able to give some away too. It's been a very self-sufficient sort of day.
