Holiday imminent! Will the little ones survive?
Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2009 11:15 am
The trip is now imminent. Off to the French Alps tomorrow for 10 days.
Problem - Travel and going away does not mix well with growing things.
I am still moving things around into the best locations to survive without me attending to them for 10 days. Most things have gone outside into covered cool areas.
I am about to plant the Broad Beans in the raised bed outside (covered by a frame and fleece). They are looking healthy and have been outside in the cool mini greenhouse now for 4 days & nights.
I am just hoping that we do not get any very low temperatures while I am away. My friend who would normally pop in and check things for me is attending to her sick father 200 miles away.
Fingers are crossed.
What tricks do you use if you have to leave your young plants unattended?
