Weeding - done some

Harvest parsnip and possibly a few spinach leaves - done parsnip plus some PSB

Also took spinach and beetroot seedlings to the allotment and put under cover on the hotbed as they were getting too big for their modules and needed planting out. The spinach didn't seem to mind and was planted in the hotbed on Sunday but the beetroot has keeled over and doesn't look happy. The temperature in the hotbed is about 10 degrees, the air temperature outside fell to -1 over night. If you don't try, you don't learn.

*Yesterday my solar panels generated the 4th lowest amount of solar on a March day since I got them in 2013. On the other 3 days the panels were covered in snow. I was shutting the curtains at 5pm because it was dark.

I did remove a large pile of cat poo, which didn't do much for my enthusiasm!

Highly unlikely to have any opportunity to garden today as it is forecast to rain and I have a busy day anyway.
