0:00
the light in. Yes, let the light in your
0:02
greenh houses and your poly tunnels. Now
0:05
is the perfect time to be getting them
0:08
all ready for the growing season as come
0:11
March time is when I start sewing all my
0:14
seeds. I go on mass production and get
0:16
them all sewn. And yeah, it can be a big
0:20
and long job getting them all sewn. But
0:23
it's exciting getting ready for the new
0:25
growth of the new year ahead. And that
0:28
is the month when I start most of my
0:30
seeds off as that is it sometimes we get
0:33
a little heat wave during Easter period
0:36
and that can help germinate the seeds
0:38
absolutely fantastic. So that is when I
0:41
start most of my seeds off in March
0:43
time. I've got all my winter jobs done
0:45
throughout all the winter. Got all my
0:47
plot clear. got it all ready because
0:49
March is the time when I'm concentrating
0:52
on sewing my seeds and repotting them
0:54
all on and that takes a lot of time down
0:57
here at the a lotment to get all that
0:59
done and tendered during the year. So,
1:02
what I mean by getting the light in your
1:05
greenhouse and your poly tunnel because
1:07
during the winter months your greenhouse
1:10
and poly tunnel may have started getting
1:13
moldy. It might have started getting
1:15
dirty. And yeah, a lot of my poly tunnel
1:18
skin, as you can see, you can't see
1:20
through it because it's that dirty
1:22
throughout the winter period. And it's a
1:25
great time to be indoors and get it all
1:28
cleaned and washed down with soapy water
1:31
and disinfectant. The reason why we use
1:33
disinfectant is because say if you've
1:35
had like tomato blight in your
1:37
greenhouse or your poly tunnels and
1:38
stuff like that that can go dormant
1:40
during the winter months and then it can
1:43
reignite when it starts to get warmer.
1:45
So that is the reason why we like to
1:47
disinfect it all down. So clean all your
1:50
like steel work down, your metal, your
1:54
um potting bench, everything like that.
1:57
Clean it all down ready for sewing in
2:01
March time. And then that's one job
2:03
ticked off your list. And like today,
2:04
it's absolutely chucking it down here at
2:06
the plot. So, it's great to be indoors
2:09
and getting all them jobs done. And
2:11
there's always something to be done down
2:13
at the plot. Never a day when you can't
2:15
not do anything. Now, I come down every
2:18
weekend and spend it down here, whether
2:19
it's rainy, sunny, thunder, snowy. I've
2:23
been down in the snow last week, but
2:24
there's always jobs to be done indoors
2:26
when it's nasty weather. And that is a
2:29
great job to get done. It can take a lot
2:33
of time and a lot of effort. And
2:34
sometimes like your a lotment site may
2:36
not have water turned on during the
2:38
winter months, which is like me. So you
2:40
might have to bring water down yourself
2:41
to help clean it. But get yourself a
2:44
disinfectant spray and use that to wash
2:46
it down with. And then give it a good
2:48
rinse down afterwards. And then it'll
2:50
all be prepared ready for the sewing
2:52
season come March time. And you'll be
2:54
able to get all your seeds sewn. And
2:57
then you'll be able to sit back and
2:58
relax while you all grow. As if we'd be
3:00
able to do that. There's always
3:01
something to do down here. So yeah, let
3:03
the light in, get your green houses
3:06
cleared, and get them all ready for
3:08
sewing. So until next time everyone
3:10
remember keep smiling, keep shining and
3:13
keep gardening with Ben everyone.
