                    As everywhere is under water or almost under water gardening will be very limited.

                    Move stuff in garage to try to let floor dry out
                    Sow meteor peas
                    Harvest carrots, parsnips if I can get at them through the water

                        • Have three bulk bags of topsoil with 30% compost getting delivered. So me and the hubby will be moving it to spread on borders and top up the raised beds. Hope the sleet/ snow stays off.

                            • Popping over to father in laws to make sure he is not still in his pyjamas as taxi to the pub arriving in about half an hour then up to the allotment to empty and clean GH1, did GH2 last week so I will be smelling of ***** fluid for a while. Change the card in the wildlife camera.Then bit of bed clearing if time and energy permits. Can't sow anything else for a while as I have completely filled the new greenhouse and lots of stuff coming through.

                                Well it didn't stay off and the topsoil was like a solid ton lump. That was hard work! Thank goodness my husband did much of the heavy lifting. It is all sitting in clods so I cant spread it at all. Will have to wait until it dries a bit. Not much chance of that at the moment though.
