New year planning for the croft.

Today I don't feel tooooooo ill!
Which is great.
I can muddle through with pain and illness usually but this jelly legged, woolly headed feeling is just NASTY! Even just a short walk yesterday left me feeling wiped  out, and there's always the fear of experiencing a set back.
But today I feel good and so I'm hoping tomorrow I feel just as good, if not better, because DAMNIT!! I have stuff to do!!
There's something about a mild January that leaves me with itchy fingers.
Desperate to get on with something... Anything!!
In the garden, being in the NE of Scotland, any chance to do anything when it isn't a) under 3 feet of snow, b) 6 inches of permafrost c) 12 inches of lashing rain, is a god send, and the last couple of days have been unseasonably mild and dry, which means I have a list as long as my arm of things I COULD do NOW!
A few are....


  • Fill in the new rhubarb bed.
  • Lift and divide the last of the rhubarb.       
  • Take apart the old raised beds and use them to make the new ones.
  • Put up the new semi-temporary chicken run.
  • Prune fruit trees.
  • Dig up current bushes (most likely over 40 yrs old and no longer fruiting)
  • Plant up new fruit bushes.
  • Prep front of house for spring planting.
  • General tidying.
So yeah... plenty to get on with.... So who wants to guess it snows tomorrow ;)
