Today was cold and the snow began to fall, so the planting out of our Japanese winter salad vegetables, beans and peas into our newly prepared terraces had to be postponed until after half term as the soil was too cold. But it didn’t dampen enthusiasm. One thing about gardening is that there are always plenty of tasks to do whatever the weather.
Today we concentrated on moving logs and hardcore away from the newt ponds so we can sow a wild flower garden. Newts need a wild habitat to snooze in and we need the newts because they eat the slugs that would otherwise munch their way through our lettuces and spinach. So we do a favour for the newts, they do a favour for us.
