I just took my life in my own hands with the these windy conditions by visiting the plot. I was surprised how dry the plants were in the greenhouse, so after watering them I made a sharp exit from greenhouse as its quite unstable. I had taken gaffer tape with me in case I needed to patch it up, but only needed it to patch up the rain collector guttering to my IBC from the shed roof.
While I was on site I prepared the bed for my leeks. It has cardboard with about 4 inches of home made compost on top. It was just a case of chopping it finer with a spade, then going over it with a hoe and rake. I intend dibbering in the leeks fairly close together next time I am at plot.
I took the cabbage/cauli's and lettuce out of the greenhouse and into the cold frame to harden them off.
I left the plot with a nice Durham Early Spring Cabbage for tomorrows Sunday lunch.
