Had the day off today so spent an hour going down to the lottie to check it out after our little snow storm this week... Well what a difference a couple of days make huh?
Snow bound...At least you can see clearly the stuff in the fruit bed now ;)
The green house is the only area that looks moderately warm...Trust me it was about 0.5 degrees out there today..
Whilst it looks nice and pretty there is a serious note to all of this, the snow has actually caused a little bit of damage to the netting...
The nets are intact but the frames took a bit of a hammering, they just need another nail in them, the plants underneath are mostly fine, it stopped just short of squashing the cabbages, poor things have been through the wars, wind, rain snow and birds...All to end up on my dinner plate ;). Some more netting views..
Took a little bit to clear all this up, problem is some of it is frozen which means the snow forecasted for tonight (5-10cm) will just clog up again...So it might be another visit (When it is safe) back to the lottie to rescue the nets, the roads down by the entrance to the plot where a bit slippery...The next thing is so thats the cabbages...Lets play spot the onion/garlic:
See them?
How about some leeks...
The plants are ok under this snow, it keeps them warm apparently.. Finally, one brave soul pokes his head up above the snow line...The rhubarb...
Good night readers!
