Grow Your Own in December

December is a good time to fettle your greenhouse. Give it a good clean with a solution of Jeyes fluid to kill any overwintering pests and clean the glass to let in as much of the winter sun as possible. If you want to give extra protection to any plants you’ve got overwintering in there or warm up your greenhouse for some early seed sowing in the New Year, then it’s a good idea to insulate it with bubble wrap. Do make sure you use UV resistant bubble wrap from the garden centre though as (speaking from experience) regular bubble wrap will rot and stick to the glass and be very difficult to clean off.

If the weather does get cold, don’t let this put you off! It’s all in the preparation. Bob Flowerdew recommends getting a second hand snowsuit from a charity shop and wearing that – I’m going to keep my eyes open. Another tip would be to wear boots instead of wellies which are horribly cold. I had an old pair of walking boots which I threw out when I replaced them – and I’ve regretted it ever since as, with their thick soles, they’d have been ideal for digging in.

If you’ve grown beetroot you might be wondering what to do with the surplus. I’ve got a few tasty suggestions: have you considered pickling, wine or brownies? Pickling’s selfexplanatory and really easy. Beetroot wine is lovely but you need to be patient. I made my first beetroot wine in 2013. By 2014 it was tasting overpoweringly of beetroot – rather unpleasant in a wine! However, by 2015, that same wine tastes beautiful. So get some started now for 2017! And finally, add some steamed beetroot to a brownie recipe – an unlikely but superb combination. And it turns a calorie laden dessert into one of your five a day (probably).

There are only a few jobs you can be doing now on the plot really: dividing and replanting rhubarb crowns while they’re dormant – just chop them in half and replant one half in another location, maybe gift it to a local park? And new fruit trees and bushes or raspberry and blackberry canes can be planted, just remember to dig in plenty of well-rotted manure or compost before planting. Autumn raspberries, currants and fruit trees can also be pruned if you’ve not already done it. And then that just leaves on of my favourite jobs – tidying up. Any yellowing or diseased leaves or other plant debris can be removed – just don’t add any diseased leaves to your compost heap.

Incredible Edible now have mini allotment plots in Kettlethorpe, Ossett, Belle Vue, Eastmoor and Horbury Bridge and run weekly Edible Gardening Clubs in all these locations plus Agbrigg. Contact Andy on 07971 098510 or email andy@incredible-edible-wakefield. co.uk for more information.

NHS RETIREMENT FELLOWSHIP WAKEFIELD GROUP We meet the first Tuesday of the month at 1.45pm for approximately two hours at the Salvation Army Centre, Vicarage Street, Wakefield. We are open to all retired health and social care staff and their partners and the first couple of meetings would be free to ensure that there is something you would like to be involved in. We currently have no funding from the local Health Authorities as other groups in the area do so after that the cost is currently £30 per annum but included in that is our annual Christmas lunch at a local restaurant. We have quizzes, bingo, strawberry teas etc and occasional speakers when cost allows. We also organise an annual day trip and lunches out for member’s birthdays and are keen to start a walking group for short walks ideally ending with a pub lunch about once a month.

For more details please contact Ros Bartle at ros.bartle@hotmail.co.uk or telephone 01924 275817.

Please come and give us a try.

Wakefield Health Walks:

The North Wakefield Group meet on Tuesdays at New Southgate Surgery at Newton Bar. We meet at 9.15 for a 9.30 start.

The walks are approximately 4 miles long and are aimed at fitter walkers.

We walk locally around the Wakefield area and car-share to the start of the walk.

You do not need a car in order to join our walks but, if you do have a car, we would be grateful if you could offer lifts to non-car walkers .Suitable footwear is necessary as sometimes it can be muddy and uneven ground.

If you are interested please contact Pauline Calvert on 07907827435 or paulinecalvert@me.com or just turn up on the day.

Ballroom & Latin T-Dance Wednesday Afternoons Jubilee Hall Community Centre Townley Road, Lupset from 12.30 until 2.30 £3 p.p. includes full buffet and free raffle draw
