Episode 4

It’s winter in Shilnavogie – one of Jane’s busiest times, both on and off the farm. The winter months are all about the ‘reddin up’, the daily routine of feeding animals and keeping the farm tidy – easier said than done with Jane now seven months pregnant!

In the polytunnel, Jane’s already thinking ahead to next year, where her visit to Glenarm Castle walled garden in the spring has inspired her to start a tulip patch of her own.

Jane’s also on a mission to save her dwindling flock of Jacob sheep. She was gifted the flock when she was just a child but and wants to hand it down to her young daughter Betsy – the problem is there’s only two sheep left. She’s brought in a neighbour’s ram to see if he can save the flock – but he proves to be a challenging visitor.

Later, to add some colour during the bleak winter months, Jane shows to make a luscious winter wreath that will last through to spring.

As the festive season ends, the polytunnel plays host to a family gathering as Jane uses up her Christmas leftovers by making some festive pizzas.
