Sorry this is super late. I’ve been busy and forgot to post at the same time as the frugal thread.

I also haven’t been able to do much gardening. The window boxes don’t hold much, I’m struggling with fatigue and the carrots I’m hoping would set seed are being eaten! Perhaps in future I’ll be able to do more.

Have you got any plans for your garden coming into spring?

Fatigue is absolutely flattening me but I went out and weeded my little window box pots.

There were tufts of grass taking root so I relocated them to the dead spots in the cat grass pot. (I have a few on rotation - when the current pot of cat grass by the bowl gets too grazed down it goes outside to recuperate and the other one gets moved back inside.)

Almost all of the tops on the carrots are gone so I don’t think there will be any seeds to harvest. Wondering if I should dig the roots out to plant baby spinach or just leave them in there to compost.
