Its pretty disheartening so far this year. Normally I would have my toms in the cold greenhouse but they are still feeling the effects of the low temp. so will stay indoors for another few weeks. I'm not optimistic for an early crop this year.

And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Crickey, cold out tonight!! Just brought my toms and beans back in... haven't been up to the plot, so no idea if my spuds have broken the surface yet (hoping not..), my spuds in bags at home are touching the fleece at the top - hope we don't get a harsh frost tonight!
metcheck says 1 degree, others say 5 degrees. Either way it's nippy!!Comment

That sent me out into the garden Chris. Doesn't feel that cold here and there's cloud cover. Hope your stuff is OK.Comment

BBC says 5deg for us , Metcheck says 1 Deg.......Gh is usually a couple of degrees warmer than outside so fingers crossed .......I'll check the thermometer in the blowaway when I go slug hunting later .......S*d the housework I have a lottie to dig

I have just given it a real pruning before it comes into leaf in the hope of getting some regeneration and the tree not having to work as hard getting water and nutrients higher up. If this doesn't work I'll replace it next year with something else.
