I know for some January feels like the longest month, but it never has done for me. The early part of any new year sees the majority of our family birthdays, so each month is filled with celebrations and card giving.
February of course is best known for Valentine’s Day, and now we are getting a little sunshine here in the UK it feels like Spring is on the way. The mornings are getting lighter, it’s only just got dark when I drive home and I’m planning ahead for when I eventually get my greenhouse cleared.
I don’t have an allotment like the characters on this greetings card, but the raised beds and planters in my small garden give me enough space to grow a few vegetables and berries. This year I’ve even bought a patio orange plant, although I think it will be a few years before it’s big enough to fruit!
I would love to keep chickens like in this retirement card, but I think my Jack Russell would be too much of a threat for them. This year I’m going to grow cucumbers and tomatoes again, plus try a few other plants – any suggestions?
