Can I borrow the digger? :D

Managed to chips a few parsnips out yesterday. But today put my nose outside and put it straight back in. Much too cold and miserable. :-\

Welcome to A4A Alex,

I think it depends on your soil. I'd need a sledgehammer to get a spade into mine right now, no matter how sharp. Someone else might manage to push it in without too much trouble.

yesterday picked sprouts and kale,after the treacherous walk to the lottie (paths are still deathtraps) enjoyed 5 mins peace and quiet, and managed eventually to get home in one piece ;D/ shades x

So depressed. :( Nothing doing until the weather improves and the frost leaves the ground. Can't even get out to try and remove more of the black plastic that the previous tenant of our house laid down and then dumped soil over the top and then left to overgrow with brambles. Brambles gone but the plastic is buried. Waaaaaaah. :'( :'(

I'm going to try and dig some carrots and parsnips out tomorrow, if this bloody rain stops. :'( ;D ;D ;D

I gazed out the window at my new Montmorancy Cherry Tree. It was a Christmas present from my better half who got our son to plant it during a brief thaw. The hope is it will help an older cherry produce something.

I managed to get there yesterday during the hailstorms, now banned again as the ground is like a skating rink ::)

Can't do anything in the garden as it's snowed under! I'm going to sort the shed out for seeding this week-maybe wander down to Wilkos and pick up some windowsill props and seeds!
I also want one of those heated mat thingies for out there. ;D

Went to collect some stored spuds from the shed and hung up some suet balls for the birdies. The ground is frozen solid - does that mean another good fruit crop this year?
