No gardening time yesterday.
Today I wanted to give the hotbed area one last dig before putting the edges back. It was a cold, dark and dreary morning and my enthusiasm level was near zero. I was going to harvest a beetroot and a lettuce for lunch but decided to stay at home and eat soup from the freezer instead.
The weather hadn't improved much by the afternoon, although it was marginally less cold. I told myself severely that I would regret it if I didn't go, and went and got the job done in about half an hour. The hotbed edges are now back in place ready for filling with horse muck.
Having done that I harvested a parsnip (not too huge this time) and a leek, picked up a few dead brassica leaves in the tunnel and went home.
