Woke up to a beautiful sunrise across a frosted meadow .
Brrrrr ........Lit the fire .
Brrr....we are not used to that kind of cold !
I have thrown some hessian sack cloth over the big Agave . It has large slate tiles around it's base to make the rain run away from it's roots . They really don't like rain .
Many places around Cornwall had snow yesterday . Here on the Lizard Peninsula , we just had rain . Lots of it !
Checked the cover on the outside tap is secure .
Thrown newspapers over my precious ones .
Lit the lantern with three 8hour candles . I hope this will take the extreme chill off . The greenhouse is slightly flooded after yesterday's relentless torrential rain . There is nothing I can do about it except just hope for the best .
Back outside , I check the fleece is down over my Sweet-peas . Let's have a peek inside and see how they're doing .
They are all germinating ! Look !
Something to look forward to next Spring .
Something to look forward to next Spring .
I scattered three packets of Sweetpea seeds into this tub and stirred them in . Push in 5 old canes and wrapped them up with a couple of sheets of fleece . These should be starting to come up by Christmas .
