Title: snow

My cabbages are squashed under a net full of snow. I hope to release them today. Hope they are not too badly flattened.

Fingers crossed, but cabbages are tough beasts, so hopefully all will be well  :)

They were a little flattened and will sulk for a while, but look likely to survive, thanks New Shoot.

I was visiting my son in Stratford at the weekend and they got lots of snow on Saturday night/ Sunday morning. Driving back to Hull on Sunday the snow got gradually less until Doncaster, then there was nothing after that. We've had frost and ice but clear of snow. We could do with good fall of snow to get rid of some of pests on the allotment (insects etc - not the kids!).

we to had plenty of that white stuff when we woke up Sunday morning cleared all the paths to the doors and sheds bit of a waste of time because I had to do it all over again on Monday but after a really cold Tuesday the rain has cleared most of the snow today

there's a few steep fields near us and many had a good Sunday sledging the trouble is now its thawed its really muddy everywhere in the fields
