February 2008

Hi there.

It's late February and it has been fairly dry compared to the wet month of January. Of course, with the clear skies there have been frosts. Still, I prefer this to the dismal, dank days that usually make up Winter.

Not much to see on the allotment at this time of year. The rhubarb I moved in the Autumn is poking through the frozen soil and the leeks and Spring cabbages are often sprinkled with a dusting of ice crystals.

I've included a few images of the allotment on a fine frosty morning. It will be nice to look back especially from a hot summer when the old 'patch' is overflowing with produce.

Hopefully next month will provide opportunities to start planting for the new season.

See you then.
