Really struggling to find gardening time at the moment as a result of the weather (drizzling all day yesterday) and appointments. The wind had again blown the cover off the hotbed over night and this time it has broken the frame. I have done my best to repair it in very limited time, but it is still quite windy enough to cause more problems. Meanwhile I am stuck in the house waiting for people to turn up "between 1 and 5pm", so no gardening time today.

Potted up the beans - old seeds. 4 of the 8 have germinated.

The weekend is not looking good - everywhere is frozen solid (including the buckets of carrots in my garage) and in any case I am busy tomorrow. Sunday is looking wet and potentially very windy, so I doubt much will get done, again.

Monday jobs
Clear up mess left by men - no
Bring pots of compost in to warm for peppers - no
Weeding if possible - no
Harvest lettuce, salad leaves, carrots - done carrots

Far too cold yesterday, with everything frozen, so nothing got done except harvesting carrots from the greenhouse. I don't anticipate any suitable gardening weather until the weekend.

Go to garden centre and buy onion sets if available - went but very few onion sets and no Sturon so will have to try elsewhere

Tomorrow Openreach are coming for the 3rd time since Christmas to try to sort a fault on my broadband. They require a 5 hour slot, so depending on what time they turn up I may or may not have any gardening time. It may be too cold anyway.
