      Morning Jake! 🙋🏻‍♀️ You’re cheery as always. Sorry you had a gray rainy day. I feel guilty that I finally woke to a blue sky and sun. What a change! The temp falls to 0° often at night. That doesn’t bother me as much as the gray sky. I’m starting a new compost bin this week. I’ll remember to leave some compost at the bottom of my first bin as you suggested. See you this weekend. Take care Jake! Your friend from America, Cindy.😊

    Definitely a cold one today, glad you managed to get bits done before the rain came. And your compost is off the to do list! Nice to see Robin back too. Have a good week mate

      It's been bloody freezing! Today has been the coldest by far!
      And yessss, compost off the list! I just need to start emptying the other one now 😅😂
      Hope you're keeping well mate and had a great start to the year! 😊💚🌱

    Morning Jake! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Sorry you had a gray, rainy day. I feel guilty that I finally woke to a blue, sunny sky. We hit 0° often during the night. That doesn’t bother me as much as a gray sky. I’m adding a second compost bin this week. I’ll remember to leave some compost at the bottom of my old one, as you suggested. I’ll look for you this weekend. Take care Jake! Your friend from America, Cindy. 😊

    Great job on the compost bins, it's always good to get your home made compost going ASAP, That new raised bed you have made is not unlike one I made 2 years ago but I put wee wee on mine when I finished it, then a again a month later because of the nitrogen robbing from the wood chip. See you next week.

      Thanks Graham! It's one job I both love and hate!
      Good lad! Nothing wrong with a bit of wee in the garden! I always add it to the compost heap 😅
      Take care Graham and stay warm! It's a cold one this week 🥶💚🌱

    Morning Jake, it’s been wet here but today is sunny 🌞 and 6c, yes windchill drops temps quickly 🥶. Too bad you can’t have a small fire on a weekend because it’s so cold and I’m sure people would appreciate a toasty spot for a cuppa. What a great idea about the off cuts 👍. Excellent recycle and reuse ♻️. Do you think it will need an extra piece of wood to support the front from bowing, or is the wall thick enough? Have an awesome week keep warm, Ali 🇨🇦

    • @pots-and-petals
      @pots-and-petals  10 місяців тому

      Hey Ali! Oooo, thats cold! It's not got above 4 today and it's felt like minus 1 all day and even a little flurry of snow! Not quite the Canadian winter though!
      I know! I can on a Saturday, but Sundays and Mondays are off limits. I'm sure I read or heard a Monday because it used to be a sheet drying day or something years ago.
      Love to upcycle and reuse stuff! It might need something, but it seems to be holding together alright! But as the compost starts to settle it might need a pole for some support but I'll let you guys know!
      You too! Have a great one Ali 😊🌱💚

    Cold and grey in the north today too. Love the tip about filling the raised bed half with wood chip. Is it ok to plant anything into it? Cx

    • @pots-and-petals
      @pots-and-petals  10 місяців тому +1

      Hey Clare! It really has been grey and miserable! Give me frosty mornings with clear sunny skies!
      The woochip I've used it pretty rot down, so it should be good to go! I probably wouldn't go for carrots or parsnips or any root veg but potatoes would be good as they'll break it up even more! But if you wanted to plant it up with some plants, they'd be fine! 😊🌱💚
