This is the longest cold spell leading into Spring that I can ever remember~ I have not been able to start any of my usual outside planting at all. I have had my early potatoes in now for a few weeks with no show as yet, although perhaps that is a good thing with the frost still around. The Broad Beans I put in the soil are just beginning to push through the topsoil and show some nice tender shoots, I only hope the hungry pigeons leave them alone, they do tend to love the young shoots. I photographed my poor over-Winter, Spinach plants, and some White Sprouting Broccolli, that the pigeons have made a meal out of.
There are encouraging signs of growth and lovely green shoots appearing on all of the fruit bushes: I am sure everything will catch up eventually.
