This was a bit of a disaster - I went to the tip and came back with a puncture. Spent the rest of the day and this morning getting it sorted, and it is now about to rain, so nothing much will get done in the garden today.

No gardening time tomorrow.

[Penellype]

Already raining and I am expecting it to do so all day (Storm Claudia), so apart from possibly nipping out to pull a couple of carrots, no gardening today. Time for some housework instead.

Too cold and wet to do much today but I am trying to keep an eye on the snow forecast for tonight. I am not being helped by the current Cloudflare issues which are preventing me accessing the forecast data! If it is going to snow I need to take the top off the allotment tunnel, if it is not going to snow I really don't want to. The problem is I will probably find out at about 5am tomorrow morning!

[Penellype]

I did open up the top of the tunnel, and glad I did so as we have heavy snow now. No gardening today although I will try to check the nets and shake off the snow if there is a gap in it!

[Penellype]

No gardening time yesterday (it was snowing in the morning anyway) and all is frozen solid today. I don't feel inclined to do anything more than walk down to the allotment when it warms up a bit and check that everything is ok.

Also roughly closed the top of the net over the tunnel to keep the pigeons out, but easier to drop back down if snow is forecast again.

Frozen solid outside this morning. Check for aphids and general tidy up on the agenda if it warms up without raining (unlikely)

[Penellype]

No gardening yesterday as I suspected - it was still below freezing at lunchtime and as it warmed up it started to rain. Managed to get to the allotment first thing this morning to check for aphids, otherwise no gardening time today.
