Seeds to Sow This Week | January Gardening Jobs to do NOW!

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Happy New Year 🎉 What seeds are you sowing in January?

[@WithrowUrbanHomestead]

Snapdragons & petunias! I like to get a head start on my slower growing flowers that need pinching back to bush out for fuller blossoms.

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Yes, I need to find the dwarf variety I grew last year, I loved this deep red foliage. Such a surprise

[@Iamhome365]

Watching all the ads to help you along 😊

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Thanks you! I hope there isn’t many. I asked it to only put one in 😩😂

[@TheGrowUpChannel]

So pleased to see you sowing sweetpeas again clare. Home saved pepper seeds should be fine. I've always found saved pepper seed so reliable! Duncan cabbages are gorgeous clare! Happy growing! Danny 🌱

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Thanks Danny. Sweetpeas were such a highlight of the year. I’d like more of them around the garden this year. I think I chitted some seeds. I hope they germinate as they were in me of our favourite ❤️❤️ I cannot quite get over the amusement of growing a cabbage called Duncan. Here’s to a great season for us all ❤️

[@Zinnia82]

Since the wash house has had an initial makeover, it already looks good. I can see with a lick of paint on the door and those flowering bulbs you planted it will look very nice come the sunny weather! I have a mountain of jobs to do but everything is frozen solid at the moment, so no can do!

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

It’s not the best weather is it? I’m hoping to like wash the inside soon but we think the fireplace needs more work than we first hoped. Looks like it’ll need partially dismantling to make good

[@kathleenwilliamson174]

Happy New Year! I started my leeks, onions, and shallots 12/26 and strawberry seeds 12/27. All have popped up 😊. This month, I'm going to sow sweet peas and winter sow some perennial flowers. I always get excited and sow too much too soon. I'm trying to hurry Spring's arrival, lol. I can't help it. We have an ice storm in progress as I write. I'm trying to show some restraint😅.

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Wow. An ice storm sounds a bit extreme! We have rain, lots of rain here now. 😩 I did my onions last week too and have ordered lots of flower seeds today. I am hoping for a cut flower bed this year. I went all in last year and had far too many chillies and pepper plants. It was ridiculous. I’m also trying to show restraint this year.. whilst being equally unable to not bow to FOMO 😂 Happy New Year to you too ❤️

[@sarahosullivan4443]

Love your videos and don’t know how you get the time to do everything,. Wishing you a happy Nollaig Na mean ( women Christmas or little Christmas) In Ireland women celebrate this day, it’s the last day of Christmas where men look after the household children/ farm ect and the women have the day off . Ladies gather in each other home or go out for meals and music ect. Christmas decorations would not be taken down before the 6th as it is considered bad luck. Love your videos have a great new year 🪴💐🎄☘️☘️

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Thank you so much, how lovely of you to say. Happy Nollaig Na Mean to you too. I love this tradition. As it happens I have had a very relaxed day, even had an afternoon nap, so quite by accident I seem to have upheld this tradition well. They had pizza for tea and sorted it themselves whilst I watched my final Christmas movie! Perfection ❤️ Thanks for watching. Here’s hoping we have a wonderful growing season in 2025 ☺️

[@bjbrown6488]

Thank you! I will be sowing sweet peas for the first time this year, in fact, this month here in Colorado.

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting. I imagine winters are cold in Colorado? We are the equivalent of zone 8a here. I love sweetpeas. You won’t be disappointed ❤️

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Hi Clare 👋 Its surprising all the jobs there is to do in January, the list is never ending isnt it and then we sow seeds on top of it all 😂 Great tidying up done today. Everything looks fab after a good tidy up. Lupins snd antirrhinum looking great for January. 👍😃 Deep root trainers are fab. I only had one set last year but ordered more as they worked so well for my broad beans. Great advice to start seeds off in the house where its nice and warm. Need to have a look through my seeds and think about sowing some myself. Time just run away with me last year and didn't get around to sowing everything I wanted to. Fancy having Duncan cabbages 👍🤭😁 Good luck with your growing in 2025, I'm sure everything will look just as amazing as last year. ❤ x

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

So many jobs to do and there’s less time than we think before spring silly season hits. Soon be hectic. I do love the deep root trainers. They’re so clever and really make things so much better for things like beans and peas. Hope we have a great sowing and growing season. Happy New Year. Thanks for watching 🥳 ❤️

[@christinebrooks6364]

Hi Clare, great video, I'm going to sow some peppers tomorrow and aubergine for the first time too. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Thanks Christine. I’ll be sowing my aubergines in February this year. They grew so big, so quickly, that I was trying to fit mature plants under lights, along with everything else. Got stressful 🫣😂

[@Passionbloom52]

Might try some cabbage myself this year & I have still got a pepper growing from last year indoors on my kitchen window ledge . Hoping to be more on the ball with my growing this year ☺️

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Ooo you’re doing well with the pepper at home. I was going to overwinter a habanero but didn’t get around to it before a surprise frost got to the plant 😬 I love cabbage. Just ordered some broccoli seeds too that are supposed to be ok in the summer. Here’s hoping we all have a good growing season in 2025. Happy New Year 😊

[@Queen.of.chickens129]

Just found your channel. Looking forward to growing with you.

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Hello 👋🏼 Always lovely to welcome new faces to the community. I look forward to sharing my garden with you over the year and exchanging stories of how things are doing ❤️

[@elizabethjames1053]

Happy New year and it's onions and shallots seed sowing for me this month 👍

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Excellent! I have already sown my onions and have planted shallots. I may try shallots from seed next year though. Happy New Year and happy growing season ❤️❤️

[@Iamhome365]

Happy new year Claire!! Oh I'm so looking forward to watching and catching up on some videos! I was just telling my husband about the 'arch' you and your husband put up last year at your beds and have to show him your video and steal your idea 😁 I'm looking so forward to this growing year and have a lot of plans. Sinéad 😊

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Steal away! I love that big archway. It worked so well, even though it wasn’t the best season for pumpkins last year. I hope to have it properly covered over this year. I’m willing is to have a good season 😂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@gardentours]

Happy New Year 🎉🎆🎊 and all the best for 2025. I think I'm only starting the aubergines 🍆 and maybe the peppers 🌶 in January.

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Happy New Year. Here’s to a fabulous growing season for us all. 🙏🏻😍 I’ll be starting aubergines February 1st. They grew on so quickly last year, they were just too big to keep in the house for months 🫣

[@Garden-of-weeden]

Haha you made laugh …. Hoping you’ll love the sweetpeas as much as I did very nice large flowers 😊 I’ve not sown anything other than onions…. Yet😂 I know it won’t be long before it all goes crazy! Have a great week hun x

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

It’s going to be manic soon! I’m so sorry I didn’t keep them all labelled. I did last year but ended up just whacking them all in together anyway and lost track of which was which then 🙈😂 I’ll be sowing a lot on February 1st. Trying to not let it all take over for an extra month. 😂 Happy New Year

[@Garden-of-weeden]

@ no need to apologise! It’s only worth labelling if you’re going to save seed, and even then you’ll be able to distinguish what’s what when they grow 😊 Feb will be here quick as a flash! And the insanity pot shuffle will begin lol

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Oh yes! I had sooo many seedlings last year. My plan to start later is to not check them back too much this year, as I did last year, as I’ll have more room hopefully to grow on. Too many varieties last year 😂

[@Garden-of-weeden]

@ I knew you had done too many but I have to hand it to you, you grew it all bloomin well! And it was nice seeing it all come to fruition for you! But if anything you not only gained an array of crops you gained a tonne of experience … it’s so easy to forget last year was your first full year ❤️

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

@ I do like that we’re full circle now though. I am definitely going in to this season feeling a little less overwhelmed by it all… and wiser for sure 😂❤️❤️❤️

[@lindajones3015]

Happy Snowy Sunday, Clare. Thanks so much for all the info on what to start in January. This will be my first full year of growing. I really got into it last April when I was off work for a month with AF. So, I'm really looking forward to this year! You'd laugh if you could see me, notebook in hand, cuppa on the go. I'm making notes this year in case I forget anything 😂 Also, sympathising with you about the plantar problem. Me too.Very painful. I'm going to buy some pepper seeds this week (FOMO) 😂😂 See you next week! xx

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

FOMO is strong Linda, so strong! 😂 I’m sorry to hear about AF. I was suffering for the early part of last year with continual palpitations, although I stayed in a perfect rhythm on an ECG. Friend of mine had AF for months and eventually had an ablation. Been ok now since. 🙏🏻 PF - it’s like stepping on an iron bar with each stride. 😭😭 On the plus side, some rocker shoes arrived yesterday and they seem to be helping. Have you tried them? I think all the squatting I do next to raised beds have caused it to niggle. It’s why I’m trying to use the kneeling pad lately. Add aubergines to your list and luffa seeds if you’re growing any. If you want some seeds, drop me an email and I’ll send you some from mine last year. I’ve checked them for viability by chitting. I’ve plenty spare. Email in my about info. Here’s to a fab season ❤️

[@lindajones3015]

​@TheFarmyardGarden Clare that is so kind of you! ❤ I only have a small wooden greenhouse with perspex windows so don't know if I could grow loofahs? My AF and PF are both under control thank you but they made me re-evaluate my working life. I was standing for up to 11 hours a day (NHS pharmacy technician) so I took the plunge and retired 2 years early. My kitchen garden is invaluable to me as I'm a doer not a sitter 😂 I'm really looking forward to the growing season. Thank you for all your advice and support 😊

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Glad that you have it all control. I love that you were able to re-evaluate life and take that early retirement. Quality of life is so important and the garden is a wonderful place to potter and enjoy a quieter pace of life. I’ve never felt more free, yet I am leaving the farm less than ever these days (mainly just to visit garden centres 🤭) You might struggle with luffa, as they’re quite vigorous climbers. Shame. Another on your could try if you have an archway (as they will grow well outside) are birdhouse gourds. I’m growing them this year on my pumpkin archway.

[@lindajones3015]

@TheFarmyardGarden I'll look into that! Thank you. I've 'retired' on a small pension, but being at home is definitely worth it. I'm never in the house in the growing season. My family encouraged/forced me to retire early 😆 apparently I was moaning a lot. Rude!

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Ha! I did the same! I used to be a dog walker but after Covid and a new puppy, I just didn’t want to go out and walk other peoples’ dogs when my pupper was sat at home missing mamma cuddles. I now run a dog related business from the farm and couldn’t be happier 😍

[@myrustygarden]

Insane isn’t it the bulbs are already popping, I have a daffodil bud 😮. I’m not doing many things, onions already and hopefully today or tomorrow chilli 🌶️, peppers 🫑, and aubergine 🍆. Lue sky looks lovely it’s grey and wet here again 😢. Stay warm, Ali ☔️🥶🇨🇦

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

I should have made a point of mentioning the sky. It’s been grey and miserable ever since. I’m leaving my aubergines for a bit as they got so big before I could put them out last year. February for me this time 🫣😬 I have so many bulbs coming up. Bit worrying with the forecast 🙈 Keep warm there too. Take care ❤️

[@kirstypollock6811]

Happy New Year! I tried to get out and "crack on", but it was bitter cold and windy, garden is shaded most of the morning due to low sun angle, and my hands froze within 10 mins! Then it froze hard and snowed. 😢 Should be warmer for the next few days, but the wind won't let up. Gale force gusts for 3+ weeks, with only one or two days let up. Like today when it's -1C and only 20km/h wind. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ I'll start peppers, chillis and aubergines soon.

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Wow! That’s some extreme weather isn’t it? Quite windy here last night. We were forecast a heap of snow overnight. All news networks were advising people to ensure they had a few days supply of food in. We’ve had a dusting! Disappointing 😂 I’ll start aubergines very late this month or early February. Mine grew on so quickly last year that they looked so mature by April and still couldn’t go outside 🫣

[@kirstypollock6811]

​@TheFarmyardGarden hmm. Maybe I'll hold back on the aubergines as well. They did come on quickly last year. Glad you didn't get much snow!

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

They were enormous with such a big spread on them. I didn’t have room for many of them 🙈 I quite like snow but appreciate that, rather selfishly, it doesn’t inconvenience me living/working from home

[@OtterwoodCottage]

Fab vid! Those root trainers look really handy and much more robust than others I’ve seen. 😊

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

They really are great! I’m very pleased with them. I’ll be sowing aubergines a bit later, February 1st this year. They grew so quickly last year, I really struggled to keep them indoors as mature plants by April 😂

[@SundaysInTheGarden]

Happy New Year, Clare! So exciting when we can get sowing again for the year ahead! I’m going to attempt to start some aubergines 😅🤦🏼‍♀️ towards the end of the month and some chilli’s too. I think today is going to be a seed sorting kind of day! 🥶❄️

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Hey Sarah. Happy New Year ❤️ We don’t much snow here. The promised deluge never materialised. 😩 I’ll be sowing aubergines February 1st. They grew too fast for me last year, so I’m holding off a month. I’ll also be doing my luffas in February this year too. 😍😍 It really is exciting to start thinking ahead to a new season. Can’t wait for spring now ❤️

[@SundaysInTheGarden]

@ oh, that’s a shame! Ours is all gone now as it has warmed up a lot today. ❄️ I think I’ll sow aubergines every month and try planting some inside and some outside. Will I manage to grow one this year? Who knows! 🤷🏼‍♀️😅 but the fun is in the process 😃 Not long until spring now! So exited to see everything come to life again and looking forward to following your journey for another year! Happy Sunday, Clare and have a lovely week ahead 😊🪴💚

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

@ thanks Sarah. I’m watching you stake the Broadbeans as I type…

[@Tillysgardeningdiaries-i3y]

Thanks Claire, I've also got FOMO lol, so I'll be doing my chillies, aubergines, and onions this week. We are just repairing the polytunnel after the storm took it last month. We are digging the ground to lower it, which is hard as the grounds all frozen. But hopefully it will be back in place soon. Also, your a lefthander too 🤗 ✋ Sorry to see you are limping with plantar fascitus, that's so painful! I used to be a midwife, and was on my feet all day, and really suffered with it. I found having pads in my shoes to lift my heel helped a little bit xx Much love Tilly x

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Hi Tilly. Left handers have to unite! ❤️😂😂 I think squatting next to the beds started it off over spring and summer. I went for a long walk New Year’s Eve and that just did it for my left foot.. agony. Weirdly it cured my right foot though, go figure! I’ve bought some rocker shoes and they seem to be helping (they arrived yesterday). The shoes in this video have a much thicker heel than my usual gardening shoes, which helps. Skechers in the house are the best thing too, so soft under my heel. It’s on the mend thankfully I’ve sown onions already, but I’ll be sowing aubergines properly on February 1st. They grew sooo quickly last year that I was battling with mature plants by the beginning of April that still couldn’t go outside 🙈 Happy New Year and good luck for the growing season ahead.

[@adysveggarden]

Happy New Year Clare and just like that the sowing starts again.

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Crazy times Ady! I’m trying to hold off until February 1st for most things, as I got a bit overcrowded and spring was very late in warming up last year. What are you starting now? I have some Oca for you and Jane too

[@adysveggarden]

@TheFarmyardGarden Thank you Clare that would be great, starting onions, jalapenos and tomatoes later in the month.

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

I’ve already sown onions. I have high hopes this year 😂🙏🏻

[@bethanskitchengarden]

Happy New Year Clare, I'm sorry you have plantar fasciitis as I have suffered from that and know how painful it can be. It's great to sow a couple of seeds isn't it. Take care 😊

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Happy New Year to you too, Bethan. Thankfully it’s a lot better than when I was filming. I’ve got some new rocker sole shoes which help a lot and have been rolling my foot on a spiky ball which helps immensely. It’s blooming lovely to get sowing some seeds but doesn’t feel like it was 12 months ago when we were doing it before 😱😂

[@GardenMyselfHappy]

Happy new year Clare. 🌱 great video. I ordered sweet peas and king of the north Peppers so should looking forward to growing again this year. Wishing you a healthy and happy new year.

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Lovely to hear from you! Hope you have a wonderful growing season for 2025. Happy New Year. Sweet peas were such a joy last year. I’m looking forward to them again. Just ordered a lot of zinnia seeds, cut flower bed is looming!

[@GardenMyselfHappy]

@TheFarmyardGarden ooh a cut flower bed will be lovely. I'm good thanks. Hoping 2025 is better growing for me. Starting earlier will be nice. No big plans, just keep myself going. Hope you have a great season.

[@Adayintheleaf]

Happy new year 🎉 I’m just about to sow my first ever chilli’s and peppers 😬🌱 thank you for sharing.

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

How exciting!!! I went overboard last January, ended up with 45 plants by March, all in bigger pots taking over everywhere. I plan to be sooo much more restrained this year 😂😂

[@dogontheplot]

I gave up on autumn/winter sown sweetpeas - the spring sown ones do better for me with less hassle. Nice to get something started though isn't it! Seed sowing is my favourite part! So much promise. Oh and everytime I see that Duncan cabbage I think of you guys - had to be done!! 🤣🤣

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Mine did ok last year but I did forget one batch when we had an unexpected -9 in the tunnel. Won’t make that mistake again. They mostly survived that episode but looked super sad for a while I’ll grow some more in spring too. I just love them. Poor Duncan will be having to double dose on the hayfever tablets 😬🫣 Can’t resist that cabbage! Had to be done. So lovely of Allie & Tricia to send the seeds ❤️

[@allison5363]

good morning to you great to see you and happy new year

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Happy New Year Allison. Here’s to a great one for us all ❤️

[@BexMcmovesherplants]

Love the different style camera shots! I am yet to sow my onions seeds yet so I best get a wriggle on!

[@1northcountrygirl]

Happy new year! What a beautiful opening section with the drone and the music. ❤

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Thank you. I’m glad you liked it. It’s just a little self flying Hover Air drone. I can’t be trusted with anything I have to control myself 😂

[@trold1969]

Ooo, it's nice to watch you get jobs done and sowing while I'm warming up by the fire since it's -10 outside. I'll be sowing some perennial flowers now, but waiting on the peppers as they take up too much space inside. Also not doing chillis except for own jalapeño seeds from last summer which had no heat to them at all, and that suited me fine, they were tasty otherwise. Hope Duncan the cabbage does well! ☺ Congrats on 8K!🏆

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

-10° 🥶🥶😱 I’d be by the fire too, Trude! Proper winter. ❄️ I’m the same as you, the peppers/chillies/aubergines were stressful last year as they were all just so big way before they could go outside. I resorted to putting some out earlier than I should and they really struggled with the temperature overnight. Hoping that by growing them later, I can let them grow well without constantly holding them back to slow them down. I’ve just ordered the habanada seeds, Kim recommended, as they’re also full taste with no heat. That sounds ideal for our family. We quite like the jalapeno mammoth from last year too, so will start ghat again in February. 8k is unbelievable! Such a sub boost. Next video is going to be about the wash house, I know you (and 106k other people) enjoyed that one 🤩❤️❤️❤️ Happy New Year. Stay warm x

[@kazjohns]

Happy New Year Clare. Congrats on the KG win, well deserved. Thanks for the nudge, will be dodging the awful weather and sow my sweet peas and peppers. Gonna try the so called heatless chilli Habanada this year.

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Ooo that heatless chilli sounds interesting! Flavour without heat would be quite good… especially for someone like me who doesn’t drink milk to cool the after effects if needed 😂🙈 KG third placing…. Not a win but still a win to me if that makes sense 🫢😊 I love sweetpeas. I have so many to sow ❤️❤️

[@kazjohns]

@ 😂 ditto. But I don’t want to miss out on the flavour🥵

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Just adding it to my shopping list! Thank you 🤩😊

[@kazjohns]

@ Excellent!

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Love that this community helps each other

[@TheLottiePlottie]

Hi Clare where did you get the little shelf that is holding your pots in the greenhouse please. Emily likes it and wants it 😊

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Two West & Elliot. They’re so cheap! I love them ❤️

[@DarrenGill-g5e]

Happy New Year. Just an observation, it might be a good idea to store your garden gloves in a plastic tub as my late father put his hand in a glove and found an overwintering wasp, the wrong way.

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Oh wow! Now that’s an excellent piece of advice! That would be a nasty shock 😳 😭🫣

[@DarrenGill-g5e]

@TheFarmyardGarden He wasn't known for using bad language, but he came out with words I had never heard pass his lips before 😀

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Ha!!! I would imagine it would teach anyone some new vocabulary! Similar happened to my dad one summer. He was drinking from a can of cola and hadn’t seen a wasp go inside the can. Stung his mouth. I’ve always kept a cover on drinks for this reason since. I’ll now be finding a box for my gloves 😳😬😬

[@1northcountrygirl]

I remember my Dad having a similar experience when I was a child. He put his foot into a clean pair of socks straight out of the drawer and a wasp stung his big toe! Unfortunately he had to drive from Durham to Blackpool to play in a brass band competition later that day. He was in such agony, poor Dad. (I used to keep my gloves in a sealed container but found they went a bit mouldy. I’ve been leaving the lid off but will in future give them a bit of a shake before plunging my hand in.)

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

@ ouch! Your poor dad! I’m properly put off now 😂😳😱 I’ll be keeping the house now I think. Duncan will be thrilled 😂

[@cutepuddycat]

Where did you get the ten cell seed trays from? i like the daintiness off them. this video has apparently turned into qvc for me 😂

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

I enjoy enabling another gardener to spend their money 😂😂😂 containerwise.co.uk/product/huw-richards-hr10/ They’re the Huw Richard’s 10 cell from container wise. You do have to order a minimum of 5 things from them though.. so do your worst and get clicking “add to basket” 😂😂😂😂

[@TheLottiePlottie]

You enable her enough!!!!

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

@@TheLottiePlottie I didn’t click it was Emily 😂

[@TheLottiePlottie]

@TheFarmyardGardenthat was very evident 😂😂

[@georgemartin9618]

Take it easy on that foot Clare Plantar fasciitis can be exacerbated by too much activity .

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

I’ve been resting a lot and trying not to squat down on my tip toes next to the beds etc. I have also bought some rocker shoes that seem to be helping massively.. along with the spiky rubber tennis ball to roll my foot on It’s certainly a challenge. Poor dog hasn’t been for as long a walk as normal. 😩😩

[@RobinGardens]

UGH Planter Fasciitis .......painful. Tried lots of things to heal the PF. I didn't turn the corner until I aggressively broke up the scar tissue. Tennis ball and golf ball. A little heat and a lot of icing. Best shoe I found, was a sneaker with a very firm arch support. Also a loafer by Birkenstock for work was best. I also bought a pair of shoes for indoors......had to ditch my barefoot habit. Healing still took several months. I talked to several people who went through it. What I learned, was everyone's healing journey is different. I hope yours is faster than average. CONGRATS on the 8k+ subs milestone.

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

It’s been brewing on and off for months. I think I caused it by squatting at the side of beds for prolonged periods of time. Weirdly a long walk on New Year’s Eve seems to have cured my right foot but really aggravated my left. I have a spiky rubber Pilates ball for the foot and a massage gun. It’s not as tender now, so I am able to physically cope with using both. Like you, bare feet are a no-no. Skechers with a nice soft heel and arch support help on the house, especially as we have filed floored downstairs throughout. I’ve just bought some “rocker” shoes and they seem to be doing wonders too. They only arrived yesterday but I have high hopes. I’m not limping as much already. Sorry to hear you’ve suffered too. It’s like treading on an iron bar with every stride under the foot. Ouchies! Happy New Year to you and Al x

[@RobinGardens]

@TheFarmyardGarden I try to remember my kneeler when I'm doing any in ground beds....but I get in a hurry. I do find now that if my calf tightens up on the side I had the issue....then I need to take it easy for a bit and keep working it out. I think my enemy was the dankso clogs that I loved to wear. But who knows.

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Mine is probably gardening in shoes with less than ideal arch support. We live and learn. 😩😭🤗🤗
