Snow, sleet and rain

Friday was great, as although it was a bit windy, the hail and sleet held off until around 5pm. About 15 people helped out in our communal clear up, and we took two van loads of rubbish to the tip. The vacant plot looks so much better now, and is ready to let.

Since then it has been very cold and wet, with snow this morning, so haven't been able to get down to our plot - hope to get there and do few jobs this afternoon - the worms need some food! Instead, have talked to the plants at home a bit, sown some Lavender for planting out next year, and sown the Black Eyed Susan for flowering this year. My brother Mike, one of our expert advisors, has admired the broad beans and sweet peas in toilet rolls and recommended we plant them out in about two weeks, once this cold snap is over. Please let it be warm soon!
