2023 - What I did today

Absolutely freezing today. I had a wander around the garden but only lasted about 20 minutes. Checked on the worms and gave them some new kitchen scraps, then walked around the garden to see what had survived the snow. Rhubarb, corn salad, mustard, garlic, onions (from sets), saffron crocuses, two types of kale, walking onions and clumps of welsh onions (from Veggie in a previous swap) are all going strong. Something else is sprouting where I had sown Nigella seeds last year, but I suspect they may actually be volunteer California poppies. Quite a few peas (sown recently for shoots) seem to be sitting above ground so not sure if they've been pushed up by the frozen ground or dug up by the pigeons (though if the latter, I would think they would have eaten them). The ground is completely solid, so I don't think I'm likely to be sowing anything new out there for at least a week.

I harvested some kale and, bizarrely, a single volunteer radish (not a winter radish either - my winter radishes have done nothing but make a few leaves!)
