After the Christmas feasting, it’s good to get back outside. Firstly for a bit of fresh air, but secondly for a bit of exercise. When I went to the allotment today there was no one else about. Why would there be, it was cold and frosty. But me being me, I went up to see if I could do anything. There’s always something that needs to be done in the garden. Sure enough I found some things to do, and I’m sharing them with you now. I hope you enjoy. If I don’t see you before the end of the year, I hope you have a wonderful New Years Celebrations and see you in 2017!!

Claire, I’ve never seen a wasp nest in the ground. All the wasps nests in this country are attached to the eve of a building way up high off the ground. We do have ground wasps but that is an entirely different species and I’ve never heard of anyone getting stung by them. Those are called Cicada killers, well, because that’s what they do.
I haven’t been to Terra Nova Gardens in a couple months. I do like to go there during the Winter months especially after a fresh snow fall to see what kind of animal tracks are inside the garden fence. It gives me an indication of whether the fences are working or not. Last year I saw lots of tracks all around the outside of the wooden fence and very few inside of the fence so it is working.
Have a great Winter day on the allotment.

Happy New Year, Claire. Thank you for your blog and very jolly videos. I learn so much from you. Any chance of you recommending a durable pair of weeding gloves? I’ve tried quite a lot in price ranges and still my index finger pokes through in no time at all. Any tried and tested that you rate? You seem to be doing well with a purple pair ?…
Best wishes,
Zaza
The purple ones I get from Homebase. They cost about £5 a pair I think. Gloves are a personal thing, but make sure they have extra protection on the fingers.
