One of my cats was being super cute in a box and thought I would shoot video! He's such a character!!😻

Checking in to say Happy late new year, and chat about plans for the year in the garden! Sorry for some of the sound, as my mic was lower and my hands clapped a few times covering my words. So I said CHICKENS! I am getting chickens! :) Thumbs up if you want to see more cat videos!!

Found something funny (to me!) because I had waited so late to collect the seeds on my Rainbow Chard. So showing you that and Collecting seeds from Chard (similar with Beets and Spinaches).

**** This is a video about growing tomatoes in a grow bag setup. This the way I do grow tomatoes in grow bags. I am using a drying rack for support for these tomatoes. The Thumbnail is what they currently look like! They are huge now!! **** This video is about 2 months late! Many apologies!! I needed to edit this one, due to interruptions and just tidy it up in general! I tried one application and sort of worked but then it had the watermark... I did look at purchasing that software but their charging scheme was odd. I finally thought I'll take a look at iMovie... and here we are! :) http://www.dirtyhandsgardening.co.uk for my blog for additional tips and gardening news!

It's about time to get those Tomatoes planted. This is an introduction to growing tomatoes in containers. Visit my blog: http://dirtyhandsgardening.co.uk
