    What will be your first gardening task of 2018?

    Not quite sure where this year has gone, absolutely flown by!

    Mine will be to construct a walk in fruit cage 8×5mtrs

    I have ordered all the required materials so should be ready for the off

    Do you have anything planned?

    At this rate it'll be mowing the lawns!

        Replacing all the wood on the raised beds.
        Building more raised beds.
        Building a hydroponics system
        I'm sure there will be more.

          I've two beds in the jungle that are in dire need of reconstruction but at the moment they have Kale and sprouts in them so the first job after Xmas/new year will be to take them out and put 4 beds in their place.

          Also got to dig out the weed fabric out of one of the beds in the New Territories but I'll probably start that this year, although part of it has cauliflower cuttings growing so I can't finish all of it till I figure out where they're going to go.

            All being well, it should be tearing down the rotten garden shed, but it could also be laying a path, or digging up more lawn for flower/veg beds.

                  Well OH has given up and taken up the decking around his shed as it was beginning to rot.
                  I will now be filling the space up with soil and planning what I can use it for.
                  I may decide to plant it up with flowers but plenty of time to make up my mind yet.

                  And when your back stops aching,
                  And your hands begin to harden.
                  You will find yourself a partner,
                  In the glory of the garden.

                      Replacing the pieces of scrap wood holding the dirt in place in my "garden bed" with breeze bricks.

                      Mowing lawns.

                      Planting out seedlings to replace those which are done cropping.

                      Planning my autumn/winter garden and ordering seeds.

                          Am going to get to grips with my almanaccy thing!

                          Plus:
                          1. Do all the big jobs I meant to do this year (joining you on a fruit cage construction GL)
                          2. Sow chillies for lots of spicy goodness in 2018. Though I might accidentally start that this month....
