RE: 2021 - What I did today - DaiWig - 16-01-2021
Morning all
Work has got in the way for the last couple of weeks (and the puppy!) but managed to get leeks, dill, carrots, peas, beetroot, lettuce, broccoli and radish germinated over hotbed in last couple of weeks (planted early December) even though the daytime temps were around zero! Just waiting for fresh manure to build another hotbed as I think my last batch was slightly too old but still about 3 or 4 degrees warmer than the soil in another raised bed! Ive become a bit of a nerd with this (see graph!). Went to Wilko to get compost (I know, but we are in lockdown!) - non essential item apparently
as my seed potatoes have arrived and just getting the sacks ready to fill. B&Q it is then. Hopefully I can get the 2nd bed done in next couple of weeks whilst theyre chitting ready to put on top of the new bed 
. Have a great weekend.Cheers

I filled the turf bunker, filled 2 bags of logs, chopped a box full of kindle, got rid of the turf ashes in the bog.
I transplanted a number of cabbage plants from modules into individual pots and put outside for weathering, sowed curly kale seeds, sage seeds, white and red spring onions, also planted dwarf French bean seeds in a module I know it’s a bit early for the DFB but it’s worth the experiment.

RE: 2021 - What I did today - doublyjonah - 17-01-2021
Some clearing and garlic set planting at the plot. Also lugged over some more cardboard.
RE: 2021 - What I did today - Broadway - 17-01-2021
Rebuilt my laptop, again!
3 lap walk of the woods/canal circuit.
Popped over the plot to sort out the netting damaged by the snow.
Sowed some more seed.
Watched my team win on the TV
Lost in the chess competition against my cousin, 10 minute games duration, nightmare. Was 1-0 up then paused for me to watch the football, 90mins and a few lagers later we resumed and I lost 1-2, no guessing why!!
RE: 2021 - What I did today - Can the Man - 17-01-2021
Pulled up all the remaining cabbage, kale and sprouts, put all the leaves etc in the composter, left stems to dry outa. It before shredding. Filled the wild bird feeders, and replaced the water in the bird bath. Lined another raised bed getting it ready for filling, moved graven in front of the compost bins.

Hi Can
Exactly what is a turf bunker and whats it for as Ive never heard of one before. Looks interesting though
