What have folk got in their tunnels during this dark period?
My Tunnel has no heat.
I have all my winter carrots (Carrot Fly are endemic here) just planted Thermidrome Garlic, Sown early Leeks, and manured several beds.

I've got an unheated greenhouse - rocket, chinese salad leaves of various sorts, pak choi and a bit of garlic. That's it. Garlic and onions outside with broad beans and overwintering peas.

I have strawberries, hoping for an early crop, so long as the mice do not get them first.

Spring Cabbage in large pots to put outside when the weather improves.

Is it the right time to plant some early spuds in bags, or is it still a little too early.
