    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.

    Potted up the beans - old seeds. 4 of the 8 have germinated.
