Just been out and picked off the last 4lbs of semi ripe toms from the cold (very cold) greenhouse. Dug a load of celery to soup and some Celeriac to store as it won't stand too much of this weather.. :)

Squelched up to the end of the garden to get some wood for the fire :-X

Just did a last pre-Christmas check-over on a freezing but absolutely beautiful day here in the Wild West. Bye lottie, see you in 2010.

I went to the lottie today to harvest some leeks for lunch. I checked out my November planted garlic and onions. The onions are doing really well, the garlics just showing.
I noticed one of the garlic sets had been pulled up, birds perhaps?
I picked it off the surface of the soil and was surprised to see what I thought was another set underneath. I grabbed it then screamed in shock as I harvested 3/4's of a very fresh dead hen!!!
The foxes on our site must have good taste, trying to marinade it like that! Didn't half make me jump though :o

Laid some more paving in the path which with a bit of luck will see me get it right out to the shed tomorrow and working on the "service" are near the shed (basically a patio big enough to turn the barrow around on surrounded by compost heaps).
Harvested some leeks
Burnt some more ivy
Dropped off some more builders bags.
Planted in some potato onions and tree onions that were in pots.... they're now the rest of the row with some elephant garlic....

Looked sadly at the rose arch which is at an angle, pushed over by the rose under the weight of snow... Another job for spring!

Wondered how on earth I'm going to get the parsnips up for Crimbo......

netted over the pond to keep the heron off that has now taken 5 fish and just dumped them in the snow to die >:(

Rearranged the netting on my trashed brassica cage (nil points for the Build-a-ball + garden cane concept!) as something had been having a whale of a time digging it all up. Took 4 sacks of rubbish to the tip and cussed as one of them was full of water and deposited a dirty mini-flood in the car boot. Cussed some more because I want to sell this crap car I only bought a month ago whose main selling point is the immaculate interior............

It's my first post here so I thought this would be a good start 8)

Today I picked a handful of brussels sprouts from the garden, had a huge crop this year but picking them from under all the snow proved to be a rather difficult task. I also replaced a piece of glass in the greenhouse that was smashed a few days ago. It's good to get outside even though it is below freezing outdoors.

Cheers
