It has been a cold week to start December. There have been several heavy snowfalls since Sunday and more is promised this weekend. Will this be our third cold winter in a row? Only time will tell, but if the ground becomes cold at this time of year I think the winter always seems longer.
I have finished my cold frame. It is big and heavy and should last a long time. I made it with pressure treated fence boards. They were reasonably priced - the whole thing cost about £20, although I did have the clear plastic sheets from an old greenhouse that I dismantled.
It is all about planning at this time of the year. Browsing the internet, thinking about ordering unusual seeds and drawing out imaginary plots. I should post a drawing here - I usually lose them long before I get to try out a plan.
Next year, I am thinking about inter-planting my veg with a few flowers. I have seen some nice pictures of less formal veg gardens and I think it looks well. I do like nice rows too - so I wont be abandoning that completely.
I need to cover my plot now. I wanted to wait for the leaves to fall and then cover it so that the worms can work their magic under cover!
