Extreme Weather - snow and wind!

On Wednesday this week, just Lewis attended. There was deep snow so we didn't do any gardening! Instead, we made a snowman!

There was a late start all week due to inclement weather and difficult road conditions.


The walking stick cabbages are still standing against the weight of some snow,


and the water butt has a snowy hat - having slid off the greenhouse roof!


The curly Kale is still looking good - we'll be cooking some next week for our Christmas dinner.


We may add some purple sprouting broccoli into the recipe too!


The leeks too should feature, though they are still quite thin - we'll leave some to keep growing slowly.

Lewis took this moody shot of the garden,

and caught the stormy sky well here!


On Thursday, a big windy storm hit - with torrential rain too. Danielle took this shot of Connorhan putting the compost into the bin, then we hot-footed it to Miss Swallow's computer room as there are big branches overhanging the shed, and we didn't want one to fall on us!
