Here's mine - 5th January.

Ahh, I wondered where BM had got to.

January 1st:

Just a few scrawny leeks near the hotbin

Leafless white currant and apple, broad beans in bucket 12, fennel in bucket 34 and the square pot, strawberries on the fence.

Spinach and mizuna int eh growhouse, brokali, carrots, swede and corn salad int eh carrot cage (minus its net).

The nets on the raised beds at the back are covering last summer's calabrese in an attempt to give it a little protection. It seems to be surviving. There is a bucket of parsnips in between. Strawberries on the shelf and PSB near the fence.

Blueberries and carrots with strawberries over in the fruit cage (also minus its net), mooli and spring cabbage under the net, kohlrabi, spinach and beetroot under the cloches, plus some marguerites I am attempting to over-winter. Herbs on the path. Strawberries in the hanging basket and bucket 19 contains kale.

Mustn't forget the front fence:

Not looking bad for mid winter

Wow, that's neat, GL.... I must tidy my plot. *runs*

**Greenleaves** · 12-01-2018, 01:42 PM

Thanks 1Bee

Just prove it's a trick of the camera 1Bee, here's a picture of plot 54 taken just now.

The big square is the current project area where I am building a cage

This means, of course, that I'm going to have to post a picture of mine soon, and suffer the humiliation...

I always kind of lose grip of the plot at the peak of harvest, and pick up the reins again when the sap starts to rise in the new year and the vegetation round the hedge bottoms dies down enough to find all the milk-bottle cloches and blown away pots.... Plus I mulch with cardboard and plastic so the place looks like a tip.

C'est la vie.

It's what works for you 1Bee, just because a plot looks nice doesn't mean it's productive

**veggiechicken** · 13-01-2018, 08:14 PM

This isn't a competition for tidiest plot, 1Bee, its just an incentive to take your own photos every month, so that you can look back on your own progress and pat yourself on the back (or not!).

For the first time, I'm posting an overall view of my garden, taken from the bathroom window. This means you don't see the weeds or the higgledy piggledy paths and beds. They're my little secret

**the big lebowski** · 13-01-2018, 08:50 PM

**Deano's "Diggin It"** · 13-01-2018, 09:46 PM

1Bee! Don't feel left alone, my plot is about waste high in weeds and as been left to it's own devices this last 12 to 18 months, but as of today I'm "On it"

**1Bee** · 14-01-2018, 11:53 AM

You're all so lovely. Love the Vine.

The light was better in the garden today so I've taken another photo for my January Calendar.
