  • Weekend jobs

    At my friend's
    Continue clearing greenhouse - no
    Weeding - no

    At allotment
    Think of some way to protect PSB - done
    Take net off tunnel if it looks likely to snow - not yet
    Remove finished courgette - done
    Weeding - done some
    Harvest beetroot, romanesco, turnips, PSB - done

    Also planted one of the redcurrant bushes in the old raspberry bed.

    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.

    • 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).

      • 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.

        • 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.

            • 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!
