It's a bit desolate in the Net Tunnel at the moment, the pathway is still waiting to be covered in membrane and a layer of bark chippings, we've used all our supply for now though but we've been promised some more by the guys that cut tree branches down as they grow too near the electricity wires in the area. I should have weeded it but I've damned if I'm going to go out in the rain to weed a path :-/
There are of course some edibles in there, mostly the cabbages. I've been simply picking a couple of outer leaves of each one whenever we need some for the many pots of soup that I've made recently. It keeps each plant growing and hearting up nicely.
The garlic on this side is looking a little bit weedy, but it is growing albeit very slowly.
The garlic on the other side is stronger and more upright, yes we have A LOT of garlic growing!!
Something has eaten it's way through the netting, I don't know what but nothing has been eaten inside the net tunnel, just a bit nibbling by some slugs, so whatever wriggled it's way through the net didn't like what it found inside. I'll have to have a little sewing session here before the hole gets any bigger.
Although the promised snow didn't land on our fields overnight, it is on the hills opposite and now the black clouds have rolled back in and the rain has started to fall again after a day of clear skies and sunshine. The dogs have the right idea and at every opportunity take to their beds and snuggle down in the warmth of the kitchen.
For me it's time for a cup of coffee and a spot of blog hopping :-)
Keep warm.
