I did manage to find time to replace the cover over the hotbed with a sheet of plastic over some hoops. I can't use my clips on these hoops as they are too wide, so I have trapped the plastic between the layers of wood forming the sides of the bed and that will have to do. No doubt I will discover whether or not it works next time it is windy.

More appointments today and the wind has again trashed the hotbed cover. I will have to go back and sort it out again later today as all I had time to do this morning was drag the ripped cover back over the broken frame. That and possibly harvesting a parsnip and a carrot is all there will be time to do today.

Really struggling to find gardening time at the moment as a result of the weather (drizzling all day yesterday) and appointments. The wind had again blown the cover off the hotbed over night and this time it has broken the frame. I have done my best to repair it in very limited time, but it is still quite windy enough to cause more problems. Meanwhile I am stuck in the house waiting for people to turn up "between 1 and 5pm", so no gardening time today.

Forecast for pouring rain all day looks accurate, so no gardening today.Last edited by Penellype; 29-01-2024, 01:32 PM.
