Today I went down to the plot in the afternoon. My tasks for today were to tidy up my strawberry bed, which I managed. I just need to dig them all up next and realign them and space them out. Which should not be a big job.

We also did a review of a new garden tool which I’ve invested in. This is the Wolf Garten Soil Miller. This review will be up on my Youtube channel shortly so make sure you subscribe to it – The Yorkshire Gardener. You will be able to find my opinions on this tool and see if it does a good enough job.

I also planted my Sweet pea seeds into compost. You will have seen my previous video on how I started these off. If you have not seen it you can watch it below.

My next job is to clear my remaining Strawberry bed and get that ready for the spring. Watch out for that next week. We will also be moving all my raspberry canes which are growing round them.

Stay up to date with my diary’s by coming back and checking on my new posts and subscribing to my you tube channel.
