spent some time thinking whether or not to bother with manure that has arrived at our plots, so much to do and so little time to do it  ;D

sowed some sweet peas while I debated

made a decision  :o

Took off the brassica netting and picked some sprouts for the freezer, Telegraph have produced lovely buttons with more to come but all the Evesham Specials have blown, despite being in the middle of the cage so less wind rock  :(

Cut off a couple of Primo II cabbages and criss-crossed the stalks, the other stalks have produced some nice winter greens where I did the same.

Put back the black covering where the wind had had some fun with it. This time with more bricks!

The garlic has put up shoots, about 6 inches, but hopefully shielded enough by the PSB plants.

Tied in the broad bean plants.

Banged my wellies well before I got in the car, it's so wet and claggy now.

It was a lovely sunny morning to be up at the plot.

Failed to start my petrol strimmer- again. >:( Used my electric strimmer instead, which promptly ran out of line. Re-filled and strimmed around compost bin and garage, raked up some leaves and cut back some brambles.

Today I picked weeds for the tortoise's dinner. I must be one of the few who is actually happy to see some weeds as I just think "dinner!"

Dug carrots from the large fleece cloche.  The forecast -5C night time temperatures might just be too cold for them to survive.

Digging what is digging?   Our soil is like iron from the xmas carol.

I don't suppose a pickaxe would make much impression on my plot right now. I've just posted my HSL seed order, and I've been drooling over various seed lists. What else can a frustrated gardener do in this?
