This frosty weather certainly makes a difference, when the sun is out you feel like doing some work. The only snag is the frost hasn’t thawed until the afternoon still it’s better than the cold and rain. The water buts have a nice layer of ice on them which can make pretty pictures if you keep on breaking it up.

Still not got round to ordering my seeds, I’m never in when I have enough time. I keep on digging when I can and tidy up or get on with some other job if it is frozen. I have managed to cover the doors forming the manure area with some tin sheets to protect them. I think this week and next week will be very much a case of doing bits and pieces round the cold weather and the other events taking place !

The crops growing in the tunnel are keeping going slowly and I am able to pick some regularly. Outside the winter crops are still continuing to produce and the garlic I planted some weeks ago is pushing it’s nose through the soil.
