2 February 2009 - Snow long

England is once more paralysed by snow. Granted, it is 4-5 inches, but get over it. (KS note: N originates from Canada where snow is a far more regular and copious event.)

Up first thing to the plot, mindful that the last time we had heavy snowfall quite a few fruit cages and other structures crumpled.

To my lasting relief, the Fruit Cage stands proud. (The key is in the design.) Who knows how the leeks, kale, cabbage and any of the plantings that have been brave enough to peek through the earth will have fared.
