Always knew you could provide great specimens Saddad ;)

Planted more peas (inch high seedlings this time) to replace the seeds the meeces took and the pigeons nibbled - if the ruddy things can get past Fort Knox this time, they deserve them ;D

More shallots in the ground, rooted in the greenhouse.

Hubby trimmed the raspberry canes and I weeded the strawberry bed (note to self - do NOT let corn salad go to seed ::)).

Took some Jerusalem artichokes from store, and pulled up 3 land cress plants and some leeks. The missus made a lovely cress soup.

Lotties have been under snow for over a week now. Having significant withdrawal symptoms as I can't finish clearing the last remaining bit of "scrub" where my shed is going to be. :(

A friend 'phoned me at lunchtime and we met up on her plot for lunch. Sat in the sunshine having a cup of tea and a cream cake (as you do....), looking at the snow slowly melt....very peaceful!

Then we went down and had a look around the site, I took some photos of the wildlife area and pond....iced up!

It's been a while since I was able to do anything on my on my plot; it's been frozen, waterlogged or snowbound. But it can't last too much longer!
