Stomped round the canal/village to get 10k steps in.
Sowed some seed.
Put a curtain rail up over the front door. OK its only 4 screws/raw plugs but it could still go wrong, thankfully it didn't
Popped over the plot to get my sieve, emptied the bucket in the shed

I got a 3rd outdoor raised bed ready, and filled it with soil, put a net over it to keep the cats out. It was very cold & windy today and the rain started in around 3:30 so I packed it in. The bed is ready to plant some cabbage plants in hopefully tomorrow.
Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.

It's connected with a question that Veggie asked, that if she put potatoes down on a bit of soil 4 inches deep, then covered them with cardboard would she get a crop, so I am going to try growing potatoes in containers, using cardboard/paper, the same soaked in comfrey tea, another mixed with seaweed and one in soil, no doubt someone can direct you to that thread, but not me, I haven't a clue how to find it, other than going through every thread

Listened to the church service, then after lunch went out to the greenhouse and potted on some carnation cuttings, but had to call a halt to doing anything else as it was too cold, so now sitting watching the birds and by that I mean our fethered friends

I sowed some winter cabbage plants out in my new raised bed. I put 12 in total, I’m thinking of putting onion sets in between the cabbages any comments ?.
It was very cold and wet out there, the cabbage plants have been outside for about 2 weeks now and survived frost and snow so hopefully they will do well in the raised bed. The soil was very wet so no need to make any puddle.
