Today's job: film new training videos for VegPlotter. Old videos are over 5 years old and no longer relevant. So much has changed! New videos show how to create a small garden plan like this. That's all people need to plan a garden of any size. #gardenplanning #vegetablegarden
I built another thing! frostdates.com if want to know your likely frost dates for you location (works internationally) then enter your location and the tool will predict when you might need to protect your crops or when you can start planting in spring. Give it a try!
ALT Screen shot of the frostdates.com site. It shows the frost dates for Exeter in the united Kingdom as predicted by the site. There are also various timelines and charts that show the various frost risk levels (air frost, light ground frost and hard ground frost) as well as a chart that shows the average minimum and maximum temperatures through out the year.

Climate change research tells us the world is getting warmer. And the annual Met Office climate report says the UK is follow that trend, but did you know it’s also getting wetter and sunnier? In theory, that should be helping UK vegetable growers (for now anyway 😓 ) by extending vegetable growing season! Do you track local temps and frost dates? Have you changed your planting schedule to make the most of the changing climate? #gardening #VegPlotter #gardenplanning #climatechange

Start your celery in the cooler temps of early spring for best results, after frosts. In about 14 weeks later, you're set for harvest. Celery is fantastic for 'pick-as-you-go' gardening, letting you enjoy fresh stalks while the plant keeps growing. #GardenGrowers #EcoFriendlyEats
Spent the past hour helping little juvenile white bream get out to sea to start their new life. Think we helped over 50 of the beautiful little fish.
Plans for this year.

Not surprised the south west has the most hedges. I reckon if you went by Volume the South Hams in Devon, on its own, would have greater volume than all the rest of the world 👍😎 Love our Devon hedges! bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…
Stopped for break on drive home and there is an amazing smell of silage. Love it! Brings back memories of growing up near a dairy farm.

These rivers have all tested +ve for thiamethoxam since 2020 (data from Env Agency). This neonicotinoid was banned in Europe in 2018, but is allowed on sugar beet crops in UK. That is its only authorised use. Yet it is turning up in rivers all over the place... Hugely concerning.
I think I have the opposite problem. I feel I have a natural talent for enjoying the garden. Just fail at doing any work on it. 😁
