The relatively mild winter continued through most of January with some proper cold winter weather today coming at the very end of the month and just when we were starting to think we had escaped the snow this winter - whiteout! The three main challenges this brings are firstly to stop the pigeons eating anything green that is visible above the snow (purple sptouting and kale mainly); secondly, whether we can harvest any vegetables; and thirdly, whether we can deliver them once harvested, we'll keep you posted.

We have started ordering seeds, onion sets and seed potatoes for the coming year’s crop’s now, and will start raising plants in our glasshouse during February.
