          • Clear leaves that are swamping cyclamen and spring bulbs.
            Time permitting, move a self sown hollyhock from a raised bed and plant my elephant garlic.

                • Yesterday I managed to spend about 10 minutes at the allotment during which I cleared a few leaves and harvested some romanesco and a parsnip, plus microgreens and a carrot from home.

                    Too cold for gardening today, but I did take the end of month photos as I won't have any gardening time tomorrow.

                    • Everywhere is frozen at the moment so gardening is off the menu, although I did take the top net off the tunnel at the allotment as there is a possibility of snow tonight and I don't want the whole thing to collapse.

                      • A bit of snow yesterday and a lot of rain today meant no gardening, and tomorrow looks a write-off too. Maybe Wednesday...

                        • I managed to get to the allotment yesterday for about 5 minutes just before it got dark, to secure the rolled up tunnel net to the frame, as it is forecast to become windy tomorrow. When I took the net off it was literally frozen stiff so I couldn't roll it up tight, and I knew it could freeze again last night. The allotment was flooded again and will now be a frozen lake as it is currently -2 out there, so I suspect no gardening today.

                          I will definitely have no gardening time tomorrow, when in any case we are forecast yet more heavy rain.

                          • I’ve got two more garlic varieties to plant out,planted three yesterday,our cat was about to use the spot,I said ‘no’ & he ran off,he wants his scent everywhere,so I covered the soil with bits of buddleia sticks I pruned off. I don’t mind as much if it’s an above ground crop but not on my garlic I put this new decorative light out there I got as a gift,it’s so pretty,it’s a watering can attached to a post with solar powered lights coming out like water

                            • After yesterday's deluge the allotment and garden are again under water and there is no way I can do any gardening. I am unlikely to be able to do anything over the weekend either as more rain is forecast, but hopefully it will be a bit drier next week. Until then I will have to be content with harvesting carrots from the bucket in the garage and perhaps sowing some peas for pea shoots.

                              • I was right about the weekend gardening - nothing got done. It was so wet and horrible outside that once I had dealt with my horse all I wanted to do was go indoors. I did scoop up 5 bucketfuls of water off the path outside the garage door as I was worried that if it got any deeper it would flood the garage. Walking about on any of the grass is out of the question at the moment, which means I have little access to most of the garden until the water level goes down.
