Take net off tunnel if it looks likely to snow - not yet
Remove finished courgette - done
Weeding - done some

At home
Check covers will cope with snow - done
Remove carrot cage net - done
Move some buckets of carrots to garage - done
Bring begonias and fuchsias into garage - done
Deadheading - no
Harvest carrots - done
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.
