Slow Down

Winter has hit and we are faced with grey, dreary days...and leafless trees.
Growth has slowed to an almost stop...
...but hidden away there are small signs of life.
The snow peas have bravely flowered
and produced a few lonely pods.
The Fennel is bulbing up nicely...
...since I added it's plastic protection!!!
No seeds will germinate outside now until August
so into the hothouse goes punnets of greens
to start life away from the frosts
that keep on coming.
