Up early to hopefully make some progress whilst the house is quiet + kids don't need me.
I want to be building, but the Gov. (HMRC) need their report and I've neglected the accounts 😱. So this morning I will mostly be... finding and sorting out receipts! [1/2]

Constructive feedback is so useful! Vegplotter's layering system was confusing: "Why can't I edit beds?".
They suggested a simple active layer tag (Structures, Beds, or Plants) at the top to make it clear
Positive is nice, but negative feedback is the most valuable! #BuildInPublic #B2CSaaS #xp

Gardening hack for poor soil! 🌱 Bury a perforated bucket filled with manure/compost (perforations under the soil). Plant seedlings around it & water into the bucket. Nutrients delivered directly to the roots for thriving plants! #GardeningTips #Permaculture #OrganicGardening #SoilHealth

I built another thing! frostdates.com . It provides likely frost dates for you location (it works internationally). Enter your location and the tool will predict when you might need to protect your crops or when you can start planting in spring. It'll tell you your USDA growing zone too. [1/2]

Far to many to count in 2024, and forgotten many too. They can't have been that important 😅
Everything you procrastinated in 2024 because you overloaded yourself with goals. In 2025 take one goal at a time.

Climate change research says the planet is warming. The UK's Met Office report agrees, but shows it’s also getting wetter and sunnier in the UK—which should be extending UK's veg season! Do you track temps and frost dates? Have you adjusted your planting schedules? #gardening #climatechange

Kale is a great one to grow. Just need to protect it from those pesky caterpillars before it cools down.
You gotta love kale. Despite the heavy frost last night it will survive and give me lots of lovely leaves all winter #growyourownfood
