Happy Sunday everybody and welcome to
0:02
Gardening with Ben on what is an
0:05
absolutely freezing weekend. It's been
0:08
absolutely freezing. Some people have
0:10
had snow in their area. Thankfully,
0:13
we've not had none. So, I've still been
0:14
able to get down to the a lotment. I've
0:16
not been able to do stuff outside which
0:18
I wanted to do as the ground is rock
0:21
hard. Thankfully, I've dug over all my
0:23
beds and they're already now ready for
0:26
the springtime and ready to be growing
0:28
vegetables in them. So, we've been in
0:29
the poly tunnel getting all our jobs
0:31
done in here, making it a better area
0:35
for growing this year. So, make sure you
0:37
stay tuned to see what we're growing in
0:40
the poly tunnel this year. So, today's
0:44
daily tip is to make sure that you look
0:46
after the birds in the winter,
0:48
especially in the freezing weather like
0:51
this, because they can't get the worms
0:52
out of the ground. It's too hard for
0:54
them to get the food that they need.
0:56
There's no fruit around. It's all dying
0:59
off and yeah, it's time to look after
1:01
the birds. If you've not started looking
1:03
after them, make sure that you do. I
1:06
know some people don't like to because
1:07
obviously it attracts rats and squirrels
1:10
and mice, so that's why I do it down at
1:12
my a lotment because it doesn't matter
1:14
if we get them down here. Uh, obviously
1:17
they do eat the stuff, but yeah, I enjoy
1:19
feeding the birds down here. So, make
1:21
sure you fill up your fat balls and fill
1:24
up your seed holders.
1:26
And also, if you've got a water station,
1:29
make sure that it's not frozen and top
1:32
up that water. Obviously, if it's cold
1:35
weather, it might just freeze again, but
1:37
make sure that you give them a bit of a
1:38
drink of water as well if you can. So,
1:41
yeah, get out and make sure that those
1:43
bird feeders are filled up. So, until
1:46
next time, everyone, remember, keep
1:48
smiling, keep shining, and keep
1:49
gardening. We're about everyone.
