It is a chilly old day and as you can see from the pictures there is frost all about (even at 12 noon!). The temperature dropped to -5oc last night and have remained low all day. The vegetables in the polytunnel are looking a bit sorry just now and are drooping heavily. They should recover once the a
ir temperature increases and as long as the period of frost is not too prolonged.
January is the perfect time to sit down with a cup of tea and set out your edible garden plans for the year. All you need is a couple of good seed catalogues (a wealth of information), a pen and paper. If it all seems a bit daunting take a look at our downloadable, how-to guide here; Planning your Edible Garden.
