Ok, not really being read, but I suppose that is not really the point so here goes...

...went up to look at the damage caused by the wind. Not as bad as feared. My shed was where I put it - not like my neighbours that had been lifted up, carried and plonked down again 10m further down the plot - would have been good to watch methinks. Tried to help him put is back today but it is too flimsy a structure so needs four - one on all corners. I had a lot of plastic blown about and a wandering compost bin. Also lost some sheet mulch of my strawberry bed which will be a bit of a bugger to put back as it will need to be lined up so the plants poke out the holes. My cloche over my peas and overwintering lettuce also needs rebuilding but it will have to wait till the winds are gone.

Dug my last five parsnips which is sad cos they have been a revelation. Can't stand supermarket parsnips and as this was all I really ever had, just though I hated them. I grew them for my partner cos she loves them but I have found that I love the ones I grow too. Nothing like supermarket ones so I think they must really suffer from being out the ground too long. Fresh out the ground and cooked, they are totally different so I will be growing load more tomorrow. I also harvested cauliflower, kale and sprouts (and sprout tops - yummy).

Despite the weather, I also managed some digging cos I had an area that has been covered with plastic since September so it was quite dry.

All in all, a lovely sunny refreshing day up at the plot.

'tas been quite on here the past few weeks but then not much lottying has been going on and what has been going on ain't been worth reporting. Digging and harvesting the usual winter veg. Did demolish my raspberry bed last week as it is on the south side of my plot (not my doing) so casts shade where shade is not wanted. I will get round to moving what is left in the ground to the north side at some point!!! The winds have played havoc - blown the window out my shed, black plastic where it is not wanted and constantly having to reassemble to cloche protecting peas and overwintering lettuce. Broadies are looking a but big due to the mild weather so may have to fleece them if a cold snap is promised.
