New Year - New gardening resolutions

Forgot my most important resolution - to finally get our compost bin working! I'm guilty of only remembering it occasionally and am sure it still won't have any useful compost for us this year. Must remember to compost our kitchen waste and some cardboard too!!

Thank you for this.Our present goal is to survive present arctic conditions and then hopefully move on !!!

Hope your slipped disc soon gets put back for you. My garden resolution is to sort out how many seeds each to plant of what I have also get some extra bird boxs different kinds for different birds before spring.

Yes, I'm worried about the big thaw and what will have suffered under all this snow too!

Sixpence - that sounds great - we get lots of birds in our garden but have two cats so have to be careful - we only hang food high in the trees etc as bird feeding tables or anything like that might lull them into a false sense of security!

I have lots of cat s in my garden they walk along the fence, also come into my garden, I have had them nest in a bird box close to the ground one that has a steak in the ground, if you have large shrubs or climbers you could hide them or disguise them.

Like Bokersbon our present goal is to survive this weather and keep feeding the birds. It is tiring just going outside when it is this cold. The plants in the two greenhouses have been covered with fleece for so long they re probably wondering what the heck is going on - that is the ones that are surviving this.

We've already sorted out our veggie. seed order (or rather Mr MB did) now I will actually place the order on-line today.

Beyond that we will just continue to look after our gardens.

my new years resolution are
1. to actually use the fleece that I bought last autumn...next autumn. missed the boat a bit now.
2. not to cry when the snow thaws and I find out what has not survived
3. not to be too quick sowing my annual seeds which then have to languish in pots because its still too cold to plant them out
4. to mark the areas where i have planted bulbs so I dont spear them with the garden fork

Mine is to remember to keep up my 'Gardeners' Log' that I started, kept up faithfully for 2 years, then stopped for a whole year (family troubles). It is such a useful reference that I really must DO IT. There isn't much to record at the moment, though - no gardening possible! :-(((((

Of course the most important thing is to 'think positive'. We'll get through this cold weather at some point - and spring WILL come!

Yes, I must also order seeds and plug-plants.

Think mine is like some of the others to survive this cold weather and to look aftr our feathed friends in our gardens.

Sounds like you are going to be busy.
I don't make new yr resolutions any more because I never keep them. However I have many plans for my garden, one of which is erecting a greenhouse.

There you are, Hywel! You can count that one. :-)))

It's not a new years resolution because I decided it in the summer 2 years ago. lol
And if it doesn't get done I won't feel guilty, but I am going to try and put it up when my helper can help me :o) I'll show photos of it :o)
