Gardening Design & Advice
This month Mr McGregor makes some New Year resolutions for the allotment.
I have always found that the best time to sit back and reflect on the events that have taken place on the allotment is during the winter months. Not much happens over December and after the Christmas season has ended and we’re looking forward to the beginning of a new year.
Before the season of goodwill I had a lot planned and every morning would wake up motivated to get down to the allotment and tick off all the jobs on my to do list. Alas, as I pulled open the curtains and saw gloom it soon put an abrupt end to the day’s activities and the plans were put on hold.
This week, Mr McGregor gives us some advice on how to enjoy a healthy Christmas dinner.
Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year, mainly because the family get together, but also because of the glutinous amount of food.
However, this year Mrs McGregor and I have decided to serve a healthy Christmas this year. Our children are not going to be too happy that the sweet supply will be low and the pudding variation will be condensed, but I believe it will still be a very merry Christmas without it.
We welcome Mr McGregor of Notcutts to Reckless Gardener. Mr McGregor will be writing a regular column of advice and tips and this month looks at the chemical versus organic question.
As a keen gardener I am always asked if using chemicals is as bad as everyone says and if organic growing is truly the best way to produce healthy yields. I am neither for nor against the use of chemicals, I do avoid artificial fertilisers, but use fish, blood and bone.
