Indoor gardening

Outside it is blowing a gale and the thermometer reads minus 10 Celsius. Ouch. so no gardening outdoors for me today.   Well, if I’m very keen I might go up and drag down branches for chipping.   But we had more snow overnight; so things might be a bit buried.

I’ve cleaned the basement, put out the potatoes for chitting.   Belle de Fontenay and Charlotte. And I’m about to start sorting out all my seeds.   But first I must go and feed the fire next door.

It’s the first time in years that we’ve had to keep heat on constantly in the guest house.   If the temperature falls below 0C indoors the pipes will crack.   So there’s no shirking feeding the fire.
