After a month off — thanks to both Laura and Chay being knocked out by flu, general illness, and the fact that December can feel like a quieter time on the allotment — they’re back to chat all things plot life.

While winter is often seen as a slow month, there’s still plenty to be getting on with. Laura shares what she’s been up to on her plot over December, from winter jobs to keeping things ticking along. Chay, on the other hand, admits to not getting up to much on the plot itself, with his main focus turning to planning and preparation — including replacing his polytunnel after four years of hard use.

Laura also reveals which seeds she’s already purchased and what she’s planning to sow in the coming months, proving that even in the depths of winter, the growing season is never far from our minds.
