Here's the weather forecast from the BBC news website - pretty grim. It has been totally freezing here for the last few days. Even with our heating on this morning the temperature still said 14C. Horrible. I hope the poor garlic, onions and beans are surviving the cold! The forecast for Saturday is an even colder 3 degrees, so hopefully we'll be able to get a shovel into the ground to put down some peas!
Loads of seeds arrived today. Perhaps we're being a bit over-ambitious, but here's the list of what seeds we got -
From Thompson and Morgan:
Strawberry popcorn (very exciting), marigold, sunflowers - Russian giant & Irish eyes, mix of violas (inedible but pretty).
From The Real Seed Catalogue:
Aubergine, brussels sprouts (gross, but Hugh likes them), red cabbage, courgette, yellow carrot, cucumber, basil, pak choi, parsnip, capsicum, butternut squash, patty-pan courgette, sweetcorn, vine tomato, turnip, French bean, climbing pea.
Our big plot is now seeming smaller and smaller!
