Grow Your Own in December
You’ll be patting yourself on the back if you’re looking out over a full Christmas dinner on your plot (minus the turkey probably – unless you’ve got livestock too!) I, however, am kicking myself because this year I might have to stoop to buying sprouts. Nearly all mine have ‘blown’, where instead of forming a tight ball the sprouts open up like flowers. It’s said to be caused by wind disturbing the roots and I was very late staking mine up this year – in fact a couple had actually blown over. Maybe I could use them as some sort of sprout leaf stir fry … If you fancy doing a bit of planting in December then the shortest day is the traditional day for planting garlic. They need a full month of temperatures below 10°C to form bulbs, otherwise you can end up with just one big clove. If you’re short of space, you could pot up some cloves in pots or in a windowbox. Plant them 8” apart so that the tips are just showing above the soil. And then harvest them on the longest day or when the stalks start to die back. Spinach can also be sown now and is a vegetable that’s well worth growing at home – studies have found that commercially produced spinach can have traces of up to 20 different pesticides. It is rich in vitamins and iron and crops all year round. If you’re planting for the first time, why not put it next to a strawberry bed as apparently they have a mutually beneficial effect. I have one small uncultivated area left and have been speculating about what to grow there. On a recent trip to Harewood House I visited their Himalayan Garden and saw some beautiful bamboo plants growing. Bamboo canes are always most useful and a ready supply would come in handy. I think a bamboo plant would be a good combination of beauty, variety and usefulness. All I need then is a Spear & Jackson tree… A nice indoor winter project which was suggested to me by the Edible Garden Show site is to paint pictures of vegetables on large stones and use these as row markers instead of little white sticks. I’ve done squash, onion & garlic so far and, although I wish I’d chosen stones with a smoother finish, once they’ve had a few coats of varnish they don’t look too bad. I have had to write the name of the veg next to each picture too for clarity’s sake though! Incredible Edible Wakefield's Edible Gardening clubs are open to anyone wanting to learn to grow their own food or to share their food growing knowledge with like-minded people and they’ll be running in even more locations next year: Belle Vue, Agbrigg, Ossett, Eastmoor and Kettlethorpe. Call Andy on 07971 098510 or log on at www.incredible-ediblewakefield.co.uk for more info.

Whatever building work you need doing, with the Rothwell Tradesmen you will only have one person to deal with from the start through to completion. Below is a list of some of our services but if you need a job doing that’s not listed then please give us a call.

Do Something Amazing Today
Volunteer! Together Life’s Happier
Royal Voluntary Service is one of the largest volunteer organisations in the country. Our volunteers love sharing time with older people because it’s enjoyable, rewarding and inspiring.
R
By giving your time to do something practical for an older person in your community you help them stay active, independent and able to continue to contribute to society. Wakefield Good Neighbours is currently seeking volunteers to help older people in local communities throughout the Wakefield district. You can help us to support older vulnerable people who are isolated and lonely by providing friendly social contact for a minimum of one hour per week. This can be to offer practical support such as collecting a prescription, assisting with shopping, helping someone to maintain or start a hobby or simply popping in for a chat and a coffee. You will be offered training, expenses, the chance to gain skills and experience and the knowledge that you are doing something rewarding. If you would like to be part of this valuable and worthwhile service please contact us on 01924 446100 or 01977 696840 or email: westyorkshirehub@royalvoluntaryservice.org.uk we would love to hear from you!
