Since the garden is on the sea, it’s windy. Since it’s winter, it’s cold. All that makes for a very quick, businesslike visit to the garden.
The last week of December we went up just after a storm, to make sure most of the plastic ground cloth (which I shall forevermore refer to as ‘plastic’) was still down on the ground. It was, along with a nice dusting of snow.
We went up yesterday, and the weather was a little more amenable. I harvested brussel sprouts and Patrick dug up some parsnips. Here are some sprouts before they got picked.
And here is an excellent specimen of bifurcation.
The garlic is keeping warm under this layer of straw.
