🌿 🕊️ 🌿
Not as cold as yesterday . Dark , overcast and drizzly .
Last night was a very cold night . We went shopping in the evening and I thought it might snow .
The North wind is forecast to be making a come back tomorrow .
I cut down the remaining Cosmos . I can see seedlings germinating in this tub . Sweetpeas , Cosmos and possibly Black Eye Suzies .
I pulled out the cloches , fleece and string .
I have put cloches over the Agaves . The tent pegs are useless , so I'll have to cut some branches to lay over the top to hold the cloche down .
Sad to cut down the Cosmos , but I needed to lash on some fleece to protect the seedlings from the wind .
They'll be slowly growing away in there , cosy and safe until spring 🌿
Agave salmiana ferox is now the same height as myself 5ft 2" and I don't have a cloche that size .
If we get an "Acrtic Blast " or a " Beast from the East "warning I will throw a couple of old coats over it .
Note to self -
I need to find a couple of old sacks to throw into the crowns of my Tree Ferns 🌴
Musa basjoo - This is facing North . So I have doubled up on the protection .
I have put a cloche over it inside the double wall of wire fencing , firmly staked in with metal rods . The big heavy wheelbarrow is up alongside it as an extra windbreak . At the moment one side of the cloche is open for ventilation.... I can close it up if need be !
❄️🤍🥶WRAP YOUR OUTSIDE TAPS NOW ! 🥶🤍❄️
I have also wrapped up the outside garden tap ...and I have another cover to double wrap it , should it turn particularly cold .
