2:23
Spring time but no doubt it'll probably
2:26
be still be
2:27
cold but yeah we've got a big week ahead
2:30
of us this week with the big bird watch
2:33
coming up this weekend so we're looking
2:35
forward to that but first off let me
2:39
tell you about what we've been getting
2:41
up to down at the allotment yesterday we
2:45
were busy busy busy busy and yeah we
2:49
have got loads done so this weekend I've
2:52
been concentrating on taddy my poly
2:54
tunnel out I've still got a lot more
2:56
left to do I've got a load of wood in
2:58
there what I do need to burn as well at
3:00
some point I've been having it in there
3:02
so that it'll dry out and hopefully be
3:05
able to get it all burned and uh done
3:07
away with obviously you know I'm a wood
3:09
holder I'll save any bit of wood lying
3:12
around but this is no good this wood uh
3:15
it's old like covered doors and stuff
3:17
what have uh warped and gone rubbish so
3:20
we definitely don't need them so yeah
3:22
hopefully we'll be having a bonfire
3:24
pretty soon down on the alotment we've
3:26
got to get that done before March time
3:28
because I allotments you only allowed

hiring indeed is all you need I'm going
4:30
to have to make sure I get them burned
4:32
and done away with but yeah we've been
4:35
tidying all up inside that you don't
4:37
realize how much compost and soil gets
4:40
everywhere I literally filled up a box
4:43
full of compost today so that I'll be
4:45
getting dug into my beds and sorted out
4:48
but yeah we got all that done and what
4:51
else did we get done we fed the birds
4:54
again as they'd been eating all the
4:56
birds eat
4:57
up the Pussycat was waiting for me again
5:00
as soon as I got there so that's been
5:04
fed and we've filmed a few videos as
5:07
well today so hopefully you'll get to
5:09
see them on YouTube this week but yeah
5:13
we have then gone shopping after I went
5:16
to the alotment and we got a load of
5:19
bird feeders yes I've got about four
5:22
bird feeders already but I've bought
5:25
five more to put up for this weekend as
5:29
obviously I want to get involved in the
5:30
Big Bird Watch and we'll talk about that
5:33
in another episode The Big Bird watch
5:35
but we've bought five more new feeders
5:38
we bought some fat balls we bought some
5:42
peanuts we bought some sultanas so yeah
5:46
hopefully we'll get lots of birds down
5:48
at the allotment for the bird watch this
5:51
weekend but it's case of just been
5:54
tidying up and getting all the plot
5:56
ready it was pretty cold again this
5:58
morning but was wrapped up I remembered
6:01
my body warmer today and my hat so we
6:04
kept warm and got plenty done down at
6:07
the plot but I'm starting to make plans
6:11
of some Renovations what I want to do
6:13
down on my plot as one of my main paths
6:16
is starting to sink and the edging on
6:19
the bricks are all wonky and everything
6:21
like that so I want to tidy all them up
6:23
spruce up my path and make it level
6:26
again as my dad often walks down to my
6:29
shed and it's a bit uneven and I don't
6:31
want him to trip over as it's going down
6:33
into the shed for where he goes down and
6:35
feeds the Cat every
6:36
day we've also watered our plants in the
6:40
greenhouse today as obviously you don't
6:43
need to water them often when they're in
6:44
the greenhouse cuz there's plenty of
6:46
moisture at this time of year but we
6:48
gave him a fresh drink of water as my
6:51
water but will fall up to the top uh
6:53
it's in like a location where it'll
6:55
collect rain uh and it will fall up to
6:57
the top so I thought might as well take
6:59
some out
7:00
use it up because it'll only fill up
7:01
again soon so we've watered our sweet
7:04
peas our Salvia our geraniums and Holly
7:08
Hawk and all my other flowers in there
7:11
what I've got started with giving them a
7:13
good watering today and hopefully we're
7:17
going to get some beautiful colors this
7:19
year and some new plants because I've
7:21
never grown Holly Hawk before so that's
7:23
a new one for me and I think I've got
7:26
some delphiniums as well oh we've got
7:28
some loopings as well what we grow from
7:29
seed so we've got plenty of color
7:32
hopefully coming down on the allotment
7:35
this coming year you just realized your
7:38
business needed to hire someone
7:41
yesterday how can you find amazing
7:43

8:23
show by saying you heard about indeed on
8:25
this podcast terms and conditions apply
8:28
hiring indeed is all you need so we've
8:32
done that and my mom asked me today
8:35
actually if I'd seen the squirrels
8:36
around much but I've not seen the
8:39
squirrels at all uh while I've been
8:41
there last two days do they actually go
8:44
into tonation at this time year like a
8:47
few weekends ago I saw loads of them
8:49
around but then they've all just
8:50
suddenly disappeared so I don't know
8:52
where they've all hidden off to and
8:54
we've got us bird feeders out and those
8:57
were pretty full today they were they
8:59
not like being attacked like I usually
9:01
go down and they usually emptied after
9:03
one day so hopefully the squirrels have
9:06
moved on a bit but I'm I've also ordered
9:09
a little thing as well to stop squirrels
9:12
from pinching the seed and the nuts so
9:15
I'm going to film a little video on that
9:18
and it's it's a clever little idea and
9:21
it saves you having to buy squirrel
9:22
prooof bird feeders so stay tuned for
9:25
that little video what I'm going to do
9:27
and share with you all
9:30
so what's the plans for this week this
9:33
week well we've got a as I said the
9:36
other day I purchased a bonsai tree
9:39
which has got five seeds in it so I need
9:41
to sort them out I need to plant all
9:43
them film a video for that for you all
9:45
to watch and hopefully follow along the
9:48
Journey of me growing my bonsai tree for
9:50
the next 50
9:52
years so we've got that to
9:54
plan and I've got two Peppers popping
9:58
through my seat s in on my window cell
10:01
so yes my peppers have started growing
10:04
which I'm absolutely ecstatic about
10:06
because last year I started them around
10:08
end of March beginning of April and they
10:10
were only just fruiting when it got to
10:13
September so I've started them off early
10:16
on my window so obviously they need
10:18
plenty of light and just be careful they
10:20
don't go leggy and hopefully we've given
10:23
them a head start in growing and fingers
10:27
crossed we get plenty of peppers this
10:29
year
10:30
and a great produce from them so we've
10:33
got them growing we've got as onion
10:35
seeds growing on as windel they're
10:36
coming through with no sign of the
10:38
chilies yet and yeah that's about it
10:43
what we' got growing vegetable wise I'm
10:45
not going to be starting any vegetables
10:46
off in February the only thing I'm going
10:48
to be doing over the next few weeks
10:50
probably is start chitting my potatoes
10:53
and I'll do a podcast on that about
10:56
chitting or not chitting that is the
10:58
question so I'll do a podcast on that
