The Best Laid Plans have gone Awry

Same here. All I have left are a few dozen skinny leeks, 3 kale plants and some chard on the plot with some sad looking lettuce and salad leaves in the greenhouse. Thankfully the freezer is full so we'll be eating home-grown for a while yet.

I suppose I shouldn't be too hard on myself as we are all more or less in the same boat.

I have leeks , kale , chard and a few parsnips- but all frozen solid and covered in snow at the moment!

Hi Jan - long time no hear - how are you getting on.  We have snow here too which isn't helping - just glad I dug all my parsnips up earlier on.

Had a busy year last year with a new grandchild and looking after an elderly parent-and their gardens! I trained as a master composter with the local council and Ryton Organic, did some demos and articles on composting-would recommend the scheme if you have it in your area. Then ther,s my own garden and a garden share with a neighbour to keep tidy. I also volunteer with a local environmental group a couple of days a month and help with our village community gardening group, looking after the churchyard and village green. Just about to set up some allotments in our village, but I will just be an advisor as I don,t have time or energy for any more gardening. Another grandchild due in June to keep on my toes as well!

Good heavens, so you haven't had much to do then!  Good job you like gardening eh.  I only asked because I have missed your good advice and gardening knowledge.
