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.

[Penellype]

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.

I did manage to cut back some of the invading ivy in my friend's greenhouse yesterday, plant some peas for pea shoots and harvest microgreens and a very cold carrot.

No gardening time today

Yesterday I managed to find a little time to weed the hotbed, but it was too cold in the wind to stay out for very long. Also harvested salad leaves and carrots.

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.

[Penellype]

More appointments today and the wind has again trashed the hotbed cover. I will have to go back and sort it out again later today as all I had time to do this morning was drag the ripped cover back over the broken frame. That and possibly harvesting a parsnip and a carrot is all there will be time to do today.
