Thank you Tee Gee for the lovely bouquet and your Christmas wishes.
It is nice to be able to say, all finished! Never happens here, though :) Just a different way of gardening, I guess. Can't dig about half, because there are still a lot of crops there, most cossetted under fleece (which needs rearranging after every so often). Still have a good amount of winter radish, endive and real lettuce, rocket and lamb's lettuce, apart from the PSB, kales, leeks, parsnips and other crops that stay in the ground and get harvested as and when. Overwintering spring onions and Babington leeks are still going strong and cloches, greenhouse and cold frame are growing orientals and salad crops. I am making full use of microclimates in the garden for winter salad crops and whilst there are losses in really cold weather, there are more successes. There is a lot of feathery Greek cress under one cloche, that will make pretty Christmas starter plate decorations. I hope to be able to keep the garden salad crops going for as long as possible. There will be a meagre time, but as soon as light levels and temperatures improve again, everything will pick up and seeds sown a while ago, will sprout. There are as many ways as there are gardeners. :)
I loved reading your worked out and detailed planting plan. Thank you very much. You are so organised! Enjoy putting your feet up! I also like reading your webpage.
Best Christmas wishes to you and yours and everybody at A4A!
