<strong>Garden</strong> of<br />
the Week<br />
One resolution<br />
I’ll be keeping!<br />
Dry <strong>Jan</strong>uary didn’t even last 24<br />
hours. The big lump of Stilton<br />
in the fridge wasn’t going to<br />
eat itself. The kids weren’t<br />
keen on the Double Deckers<br />
in their selection boxes and<br />
we can’t have food going to<br />
waste. In short, my new year<br />
resolutions haven’t been a<br />
roaring success!<br />
However,<br />
this year I’m<br />
vowing to use less plastic and<br />
upcycle whatever I can. As<br />
gardeners we’re already at the<br />
forefront of the environmental<br />
movement but there many<br />
ways we can do more – and our<br />
plastics feature on page 20 is a<br />
great place to start.<br />
