    Morning Jake! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Sorry you had a gray, rainy day. I feel guilty that I finally woke to a blue, sunny sky. We hit 0° often during the night. That doesn’t bother me as much as a gray sky. I’m adding a second compost bin this week. I’ll remember to leave some compost at the bottom of my old one, as you suggested. I’ll look for you this weekend. Take care Jake! Your friend from America, Cindy. 😊

      Don't feel guilty! You should feel blessed! I'm so jealous! I'm like you, give me blue sky and frosty days over warmer and wet old days!
      Yes! Do it, it will thank you for it 😊 Always lovely to hear from you Cindy! Stay warm 🔥😊🌱💚

    Great job on the compost bins, it's always good to get your home made compost going ASAP, That new raised bed you have made is not unlike one I made 2 years ago but I put wee wee on mine when I finished it, then a again a month later because of the nitrogen robbing from the wood chip. See you next week.

      Thanks Graham! It's one job I both love and hate!
      Good lad! Nothing wrong with a bit of wee in the garden! I always add it to the compost heap 😅
      Take care Graham and stay warm! It's a cold one this week 🥶💚🌱

    Morning Jake, it’s been wet here but today is sunny 🌞 and 6c, yes windchill drops temps quickly 🥶. Too bad you can’t have a small fire on a weekend because it’s so cold and I’m sure people would appreciate a toasty spot for a cuppa. What a great idea about the off cuts 👍. Excellent recycle and reuse ♻️. Do you think it will need an extra piece of wood to support the front from bowing, or is the wall thick enough? Have an awesome week keep warm, Ali 🇨🇦

    • @pots-and-petals

      Hey Ali! Oooo, thats cold! It's not got above 4 today and it's felt like minus 1 all day and even a little flurry of snow! Not quite the Canadian winter though!
      I know! I can on a Saturday, but Sundays and Mondays are off limits. I'm sure I read or heard a Monday because it used to be a sheet drying day or something years ago.
      Love to upcycle and reuse stuff! It might need something, but it seems to be holding together alright! But as the compost starts to settle it might need a pole for some support but I'll let you guys know!
      You too! Have a great one Ali 😊🌱💚

    Cold and grey in the north today too. Love the tip about filling the raised bed half with wood chip. Is it ok to plant anything into it? Cx

    • @pots-and-petals
      @pots-and-petals  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey Clare! It really has been grey and miserable! Give me frosty mornings with clear sunny skies!
      The woochip I've used it pretty rot down, so it should be good to go! I probably wouldn't go for carrots or parsnips or any root veg but potatoes would be good as they'll break it up even more! But if you wanted to plant it up with some plants, they'd be fine! 😊🌱💚
