We will share all the tips and add advice. We
will also have regular episodes talking about what we have
been up to on the a lotment. So sit back,
grab a brew and enjoy today's episode. Hey everyone, and
welcome back to Gardening with Ben for a brand new
episode here on Christmas Day. Yes, we've not had an
episode last yesterday, but we have an episode today. We
did promise you a Christmas Day episode, so here we are.
And first off, I just want to wish you all
a very merry Christmas and I hope that you all
have a fantastic day, spending it with family, friends, or
watching your favorite TV shows or bingeing out on food.
I hope that you all have an absolutely wonderful day
to day. And I'm hoping that I will do as well.
And what I'll probably do on Christmas Day is I'll
probably first off pop to my lotment in the morning
just to give it a little check because I've not
been to allotment for a few days. So I'll probably
pop down, have a little look around, see missus pussy cat,
and probably feed the birds as well as obviously the
bird seed might need filling up, so yeah, we're going
to give it some birds some food as well to
treat them and give them some enjoyment. So we've got
to look after all our little wildlife friends down on
the lot as well, so I'll probably do that and
touch would Our new potting bench is still standing. My
dad's being renowned to plot each day because he goes
and feeds the cat every day. But my bench is
still standing. And yeah, my roof's still fixed on as well,
because we did have some bad wind as well, and
I did quite a few repairs on the roof over
the weekend as it's had a bit of damage over
the winter, and I thought I'll just bog it up
make sure that it doesn't get any worse than it
actually is, so I bodged it all up and thankfully
it's all held, so that is another good sign that
things are doing well and my big project is underway.
My secret project is underway for my shed as well,
and I can tell you that I'm painting it, painting
my potting bench, but I've got some more ideas for
it as well, so you'll have to stay tuned for that.
We've had a few deliveries come, so I'm excited to
show you what the outcome and what it'll looked like
once it's all done and sorted. That's my exciting thing
what I'm going to be doing, and yeah, I'll be
sharing that on New Year's Eve, probably as I do
my yearly round up from the Allotment. I'll be filming
a yearly round up down at the Allotment, telling you
all the good things that I've done, all the bad
things that have failed, and look into the future as well.
So make sure you stay tuned for our week yearly
round up, not weekly, I yearly round up of the Allotment.
I'll do one as well on the podcast talk about
everything on here, so if you don't follow my YouTube,
oor Instagram and Facebook, you'll be able to listen to it.
On the podcast as well. So yeah, it's just a
short little episode today, but I just wanted to jump
on make sure that I wish you all a merry Christmas,
and I just want to say thank you to everybody
that does follow me on here, everybody that who will
just listens every single day when the podcast come on,
and thank you for those that share it as well,
because obviously the more people that listen, the better outreach
we get as well. So hopefully the podcast will be
continuing throughout the Christmas period and into the new year,
and then we'll start a new series next year. So
hopefully thank some new ideas for some new podcasts next
year and hopefully one day, you never know, we might
just blow up and take off. But yeah, one can
only dream. But like I say, thank you so much
everybody for your support, and thank you for everything that
