It is very gloomy here and we,ve had a few snow flurries , but mostly sleet and icy cold rain .
The wind grew increasingly stronger in the afternoon , by the evening it was a howling gale and bitterly cold coming from the East .
I harvested the kale ....
...... and a pile of lovely Bleu de Solaise Leeks .I love how they colour up purple in the Winter .
I have been watching this tray of Leek seeds on the windowsill and today I can see they are germinating !
This time next year I will be harvesting these !
O.k. I get SO excited about my leeks seeds germinating !
So the wind blew stronger and colder and I dashed up to the greenhouse to make sure that everything was properly covered .
Sheets of newspaper , fleece and blankets carefully laid over everything . Insulation up on the rafters and car windscreen protectors along the East facing side .
It was a very cold night as it turned out . No snow , no frost , no ice on the bird bath ....... just cold ..... blinking cold !
Steaming hot Pasties for lunch !
Your plants looks so comfortably snug in the greenhouse!
