Winter

This season the worst winter weather has come in February, bringing hail, sleet, snow, gales, and plenty of rain, but no negative temperatures and no frost.

We haven't felt able to open both doors to our packing shed and shop yet this month.

Hail in drifts across the black plastic mulch on the market garden, where we are killing off weeds prior to creating permanent beds.

Outdoor brassica salads and parsley just about surviving.

We'd not have much to harvest at the moment if it weren't for our polytunnels.
