Stuck at home today waiting for someone to come and adjust the hinges on my back door. Infuriatingly, although the job will only take a few minutes, they can't even say if it will be morning or afternoon, let alone give me an approximate time. It is therefore highly unlikely that I will get any time in the garden.

Not much time today but I did manage to get to the allotment briefly to do 2 specific jobs: cut pieces of mesh to cover the mulch round the newly planted blueberry to stop the cat/birds from pulling it about, and peg down a branch of the chilean guava, which should then make roots, as my sister said she would like one.

I need to cut my nettles again to make fertiliser. I uncovered my onions yesterday to have a look & there’s little green growth on them. Planting garlic soon,waiting as they’re a birthday present from my daughter,they’re just over there in the kings seeds envelope

Finally a decent day when I am at home...and the man is coming to paint the front fence.

Nothing doing over the weekend as first everything was covered in snow, then it poured with rain and blew a gale, and now everywhere is flooded again. I did manage to prick out a few lettuce seedlings and pick up the remains of the carrot cage frame which blew down in the wind, but that was it.

No gardening time tomorrow as I have meetings all day - typical when the weather might actually be tolerable!

It is a bit bloomin' miserable...

The weather in the UK looks like it's going to be awful, Penellype. Even here they're warning of record 'explosive cyclogenesis' of Storm Bert, affecting Britain in particular but even north-west Spain.

Looks like it's time to be battening down the hatches.

Good luck.

Unable to do anything except check all is ok at the moment as the ground is frozen. Even the garage was below freezing yesterday morning but I did manage to harvest carrots from one of the buckets I moved in there.

No gardening time today and the forecast for the weekend looks diabolical.

Took the net off the tunnel yesterday and did manage to harvest carrots plus the remainder of the summer leeks.
Not too much snow this morning but far too cold to do anything except check for damage (none).

Frozen solid this morning but snow still looks possible tonight (although not certain here) so I am going to have to remove the net from the tunnel. Otherwise this week I'm going to concentrate on planning for next year. If I am lucky things will defrost enough this afternoon to harvest romanesco and carrots, otherwise it will be time to start on the stocks in the freezer.
