Also started detailed planning of what is going where this year.
Too cold for more than a quick walk round today, and I expect that to be the case for the next couple of days. Therefore most of what I will be doing is continuing with the planning, which is tricky due to a new row of raspberries taking up space at the allotment that I would usually use for other things.

Today's job was to make the hotbed, which took me all morning, but is now done and should be ready for sowing in a couple of weeks. Tomorrow looks very wet indeed and will probably be a complete write-off, which might give my back a chance to recover!

Unfortunately the weather this morning looks appalling and I am busy with family stuff and work for the remainder of the weekend, so I am unlikely to get any gardening done at all.

First opportunity to get in the garden for 10 days today, having only managed to walk round and check and harvest a few carrots from the (part frozen) buckets in the garage and some lettuce and microgreens and a couple of tomatoes and peppers from the house during the freeze. I couldn't even sow any microgreens because the compost was frozen. Thankfully the water barrels don't appear to have cracked but I am not sure of the state of the stored potatoes in the garage as the paper bags look a bit damp.
