Been a lovely day, over 10°C. Got ⅔ of my potato bed dug, hope I can do the rest and sheet it over before the rain comes tomorrow.

Here's the second post for today, OH.

Warm and sunny here too so I spent the morning in the rhubarb patch lightly forking around the crowns all of which are showing nice fat buds then adding some liquid feed. Must get them covered this afternoon although it has turned cloudy. DW and I really love those early pink stalks.

Can't do anything at the allotment, still far to wet.
Seeds sorted.... :)

I like that, Geoff!
Yes, blowing blizzards this morning and, although the sun came out this afternoon, the temperature never rose above 2 degrees here and the NE wind is vicious! Should be better tomorrow, though.

Out trading in Kerry yesterday and rhought would die of cold. Still bitter and have brought in all seed trays and battened down frost covers with rocks in the gale. Still, several young US tourists were out without woolly hats which we knit and sell...
