I have invested in a mini greenhouse, its for my seedlings also its until i win a greenhouse. Its from Home Base 29.99 and i think its really good. It was very easy to put up until you have to put the cover on and you have to make sure you have really banged the poles in otherwise they won't fit on i had several melt downs trying to pull it over. I have started off my garlic just a few, and i read in "grow your own" magazine that you can set them off in pots first, i did this because i couldn't even get my fork in the ground it was so frozen.
So there has been a lot of frost and snow which hasn't given me much to do.
Apart from spending a fortune on the Sarah raven site, that's where i bought all my seeds. She does add a nice touch because they arrive in purple tissue paper and comes with planting tips sheet.
I have also planted up more garlic which seem to be doing well. They will be going in the soil as soon as i have put more soil on it and manure. The snow has only just melted on my veg patch. Which is a bad sign because it shows it doesn't get enough sun because it was the last place to melt in the garden.
More joy in the garden my rhubarb is growing, which is a relief because i thought i had planted it upside down.
I also made a strawberry bed using the propagated strawberries from last year.
I have protected them with straw and a netted poly tunnel, for a number of reasons, there still may be frost, but i also have a big pest in the garden, its small and brown and doesn't care what he stands on or digs up.
The pest is called Lucas. The chicken wire is there to protect my rhubarb.
