5th November - 18th November
2007 Max Temp. 12C Min Temp. -9.5C Rain 28mm
2006 Max Temp. 14C Min Temp. -7C Rain 32mm
We have had the coldest night yet and I think that -7 was the lowest recorded for last year so does this mean that we are in for a very cold winter?
Well Holland was wet and windy but in between the heavy squally showers my Daughter and I managed to 'sort' her garden and she just has to await the results next year.
Not much going on in the garden, Mache has germinated and so has the Oriental Salad. The previous sowing of OS is standing up to the frost well. Today it is too wet to get on the ground so will prune the Raspberries and may be get the plastic on the cloches. The Parsnip exported to Holland was DELISH!!!!!!!
The Broody hen has gone right off the idea of hatching eggs and is now behaving normally. Egg production has fallen but we are still getting a few.
Delphiniums are still flowering and so is the Fairy Verbascum, crazy year .
Moles still a problem, have a look at the thread 'I don't want to kill them' (Pests and diseases) for updates.
