Decided to visit my Growing Opportunities plot today and do a little winter digging, although how we can say winter this year is beyond me.I do like some winter weather, helps to organise your growing and lifestyle just think those T-shirts get twice as much wear. Also decided to drop off some bottles on the way as I have to pass a bottle bank,something im ashamed to say i haven't done for many years.Anyway on to the plot; for some reason i found some leek seedlings at home which i lost in the summer ,still in their little black tray,i thought that if they have lasted this long planting out in these springlike conditions could only give them a fighting chance and me , an earlier crop,heres hoping.
Its funny once you decide to be more "GREEN" what you notice, have a look around just see how many PV Solar panels have sprung up even tempory traffic lights are using then now, i just wish my roof had been a couple of metres bigger, that would have meant i could have got free or a very cheap install, you never know things may change and i may qualify. Joy the post as arrived with my little parcels.Cooking is a bit of a passion so have always used a multitude of herbs and spices , but why buy in little glass jars, it costs more,i dont need the jars,i have to drive 3miles to buy them? So onto the internet it was , to find places like The Spice Cellar (www.SpiceCellar.co.uk) or The Spiceworks, both on Ebay, Here i get the quantities i want, i have the choice of organic and they are cheaper and are delivered to my door. As i said one little change can make a difference.if you know of any-more please let me know.Sat here at the moment it (16:18),you suddenly realise that the nights are getting longer, and as i face south west it is very evident, this is also great news for reducing my heating costs as i have a large picture window which passively heats the front of the house ,i have just got to remember to shut the blinds to keep it in, but it is nice to watch all the Gulls coming to roost in the bay behind the house after a long feeding day on the Wolds.
