When I said squirrels, I meant hedgehogs.

A few misspoken bits there, it is broad beans on the right, not garlic, which was last year, field beans are cover crop rather than ground cover, and I twice referred to the dustbins as buckets. Also, Taylor's birthday was on the 13th. I knew it was somewhere in the middle of December but couldn't remember when.

Sorry peeps, I had the phone at too high of an angle, so the hole is out of shot. A good view of the sky though.

The potatoes were an impulse buy, as i'd never seen potatoes in a paper bag before, and wasn't sure whether it was a temporary thing for Christmas, or something more regular. Would be better to buy the potatoes in a month's time instead. I've moved them from the back porch to a shed, as it will be cooler there.

You look like you've just come back from holiday GD 🙃

Dear viewer may be wondering why I was so suggestible as to soak the garlic in chamomile tea. I've come across the idea of soaking garlic or other seeds in tea before, so to use chamomile tea instead isn't much of a stretch. Also, I dunno whwther this happens nowadays, but back in the 1980s women would drink chamomile tea to ease cystitis, which is a bacterial infection. So, if chamomile tea is a mild bacteriacide, my garlic would benefit from it as they have been leading an unhealthy lifestyle over the past few months.

Sorry dear viewer, this is probably the least interesting of my videos for you, but I recorded it as it was significant to me as I said in the pilot video that I would be comparing my broad beans to Keith's, and it was a relief that something had emerged through the mulch, even if it is something as hefty as a broad bean. I've just checked. The broad beans were sown in mid-November, so they've taken four weeks to emerge. Weather has generally been coldish in that period.

Next year? You almost had it! Ask for some assistance. Please be careful.

Hope you didn’t strain yourself, carrying that back. Be careful.

Diagonally across, not dirctly across, and ermm 9th December not 10th September. That's wot you get for doing things in one take.

This is just a Pilot. Episode One will have a new, improved Penny. Recorded during storm Darragh, as I just wanted to get it done. I've got a camera on order, seems like I ought to get a microphone, pronto. I had an attempt at doing a video a couple of days ago, but I had problems dealing with a video editor, so did this video in one take on the phone in order to bypass a video editor. I'm eager to hear which video editor people would recommend for novices. I'll collect some logs and branches over the next few days, and then create another hugelkultur bed/area. Storm Darragh should help with that by providing branches laying around the place.
