Not what we were expecting!

This has rather scuppered my plans! We were not expecting snow - and indeed even this morning's weather forecast does not include it, down here in Surrey - but when we woke up there was about an inch on the ground and it was still snowing heavily. Now, however, it is starting to thaw.

Actually, there is not a lot to do at the plot. Nearly everything is dug and awaiting some warmer weather before I plant out strawberry plants, onions and broad beans. I have put down some blood, fish and bone fertiliser where things will be planted. This is a slow-release 'organic' fertiliser, which will be 'topped up' throughout the growing season. The one part that still requires some work has leeks in at the present, but I won't need to plant anything there for a couple of months, so there is plenty of time.
