Photos of the plot in winter

Today I managed to get to the plot after work for 45 minutes, before darkness descended.
I rooted out some couch grass that had taken hold here and there. That is my weed enemy no. 1.
A cheerful robin kept me company. I suspect it was not my conversation he was after!
I also got the chance to take a snap or two. This is a red cabbage grown from seed. Unfortunately I cannot remember the variety. I managed to get a few cabbages all the way to the head stage this year - delighted with that!

I also have some curly Kale standing out. This is Black Kale, possibly a Tuscan variety... I bought these as young plants - six of them - and all six are doing fine.
You can see the dew gathered thickly on this leaf. Elsewhere on the plot, the frost never melted at all today.
