Bl**dy weather.
Two inches of snow in as many hours her in Sussex. Kids ecstatic and me...
I've Tried to fleece up the plum and conference pear-both in full bloom-just impossible to keep the stuff on them. Any tips?...or are we going to have to face disaster.Comment

No snow here. Just freezing cold and sunny.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Woke up to a light covering and took a piccie of my asparagus thrusting through the snow!
Good thing about the weather is it stopped the slugs getting the lupins I planted out yesterday, but ...
My Nemaslug is in the fridge because the weather turned the day it arrived. The packet says it is OK until the 24th, but should I water it in anyway even if we are forecast v. cold nights? It is pretty mild on Wirral, but we do get the odd frost and even the odd fall of snow. I know the slugs are up and about but don't know how long the little beasties in Nemaslug live for in the ground.NellComment

Have you got a thermometer you could stick in the ground? If it is 5 degrees or above the nematoids can do their job.I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

woke up to 3" of snow and went "bugger" i left my strawberries out, but lucky i covered the toms in the greenhouse and leaving the heater on until the sun comes, it think the strawberries will be quite resiliant.
But we have two snowmen and 3 cold guineas!!!!
Bring on the summer please, i so want to plant!!!Comment

I earthed up, mulched and fleeced the asparagus beds. As frost ruins tips. The snow itself shouldn't matter
I think you've been a bit premature with the nemaslug...now you've got it it should be ok as long as the ground is not frozen when you apply it.
The snow should act as insulator for the greenhouse. Igloo effectComment
