Another frosty start, woolly hat and thermal socks weather. The hoe was turning over the soil in lumps. I managed to get an hours work done.
The pesky pigeons have nibbled all the tops off my Purple Sprouting Broccolli as usual. This seems to happen most years and the sprouts usually seem to grow back and produce a good crop. The Onions and Garlic are looking nice and healthy and the Rhubarb is thriving. I think a lot of vegetables need a good silvery frost on their leaves to get them going.
I am really impressed with the way my perpetual spinach is lasting all the way through what has been a very cold snowy and damp winter.
