Snow!

You can’t do much when everything is covered in snow apart from build snowmen!

A small shed makes a great snow collector so that you can make snowballs without having to bend down.

We had seen shoots coming up from our shallots, garlic and rhubarb (which we were convinced a squirrel had eaten) so we will have to wait and see if they make it through the cold snap. I am guessing that snow gets counted as frost which lots of stuff doesn’t seem to like so we will let you know if we have suffered any casualties.

As you can see, we’ve had about 6-inches on Monday which started melting over the next few days. Those sticks popping up from under the snow are raspberry canes which don’t seem to be doing much yet. As the most expensive things we’ve bought so far they better be loving the snow and getting ready to stop looking so dead. Apparently you are supposed to plant them out in late autumn so they should be used to thins kind of weather.
