Wall to wall sunshine but very cold at night except that is for Thursday and Friday when it was thick mist for most of the day and Boy was it cold!!!!! It has been dry now since the 7th Feb, Not that I am complaining as I have really cracked on with the soil preparation. Still waiting for the delivery of dung and straw but most of the compost has been spread. Sweet potato now in damp compost and the onion seed is pre germinating.

Sweet Peas are in and the potatoes are chitting. Hens have started to lay again, must be all the hot breakfasts they have been getting.
