January Garden

Rather different from earlier posts!
Under the fleece are plants like American Land Cress, Pak Choi, and Cornsalad. They look OK and I expect them to grow away well once things warm up a bit.

Things may not be so successful in the veg plot. The leeks - just visible on the left - are still pretty skinny but should survive the snow and ice. Others may be less fortunate - the Sorrel and Red Mustard already looked a bit sorry for themselves after the earlier frost before Christmas. I'll be interested to see how the Green in Snow gets on! I probably should have fleeced the lot in mid-December, but then no-one expected the winter to turn out how it did.

The main part of the garden, not looking like winter gardens do in magazines. They always take photos when there's been a hard frost - not something which happens that often, but beautiful whaen it does. All we're doing in the garden at the moment is feeding the birds.
