Snow

Its been very cold and as you can see lots of snow, looks nice though

Snow

Over the past couple of days the snow has been falling quite a bit now. As you can see the allotments are covered but i still managed to work despite the cold. At least it was dry. The early Broccili are somewhere under all that snow

The storage shed is nearly finished, just need a side and some more glass for the roof.

Down on the garden allotment everything is covered as well. Not much to do here until early spring. The bottom greenhouse will probably go up to the other pen sometime soon.

Raised Beds

The temperature has dropped quite a bit and there has been a few flurries of snow. Nothing too deep but many places the roads are quite icy. I still managed a few hours this afternoon though.

So armed with a flask of coffee and a fire i managed to build two raised beds and another car load of manure, with this i managed to cover one of the asparagus beds.

Weather turned cold again with some snow.

Walked To Pen

Managed to get up the allotment today. It's only a 10 minute walk from home although with kids in tow it takes twice as long. Still plenty of snow and ice around.




Me and the kids had a fire to keep us warm




These are the soft fruit i bought the other day, potted up waiting to go in when the ground has thawed. They are Raspberry: Glen Prosen and Tulameen. Gooseberry. Blackcurrant:Ben Lomond. Tayberry and Blackberry.





These were taken in my other allotment (49d). The snow drops are the only signs of life.
But soon when the weather warms up and the days get longer all the plants will start to grow again, i hope
