planting

despite the constant weather warnings we've had no snow here. today started bright and sunny, and it seemed like a good idea to cease the day and plant out broad beans and cauliflower into the garden. frost is being foorecast for tonight so the beans have been covered with a cloche and the cauliflowers protected by yogurt pots.

meanwhile everything in the greenhouse is being wrapped up in fleece to keep warm but this seems to be attracting slugs - perhaps they like the warmth too!!
