 Beautiful day today in SW France clear blue skies and 22C ... what a tease Be to easy to be fooled into thinking that something tender can be sown or planted out. I will be prep'ing the ground in my new raised beds sometime soon though and getting my shallots in . The temperature is going to fall from 22C today to about 14C tomorrow and remain there for the next week or so with some nice sunshine so some soil prep'ing will be possible. Going to sow some barrasicas for spring/ early summer growing see how the do.

I'd love to be sympathetic but it's currently blowing near 70mph out here so you know... 

It is always so difficult to be patient though when you get a nice day like yours!
