Could be an expensive year as I'm itching to get a greenhouse or some cloches.
We bought a wooden greenhouse in January, by summer the price had risen by over £200. If you can afford to do it, buy it sooner rather than later.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 8.

We've done a bit of harvesting. Tomatoes are now passatta and I spent Sunday pickling beetroot for the first time. I thought we had loads but it only filled 7 jars and if I'm lucky I might be left with 2. Eldest daughter requested hers crinkle cut and I still had my old crinkle chipper so did the lo...

Hurray, I thought it was just me that struggles with this. Apparently there is something called directional ...
