Plans

Snowscape

Well thankfully no snow, ice storms or floods in Walthamstow, save for the frosting on the Christmas cake. Ye gods.

Seed Stitch

The storms have set in, there is nothing to do but keep warm and dry and dream of sowing seeds...

Season's End: the last of the roots

A fine bunch of carrots for Christmas dinner. No parsnips; the beds weren't built in time for sowing. Next year...

Season's End: Last of the Spuds

Digging for buried treasure...let's hope the slugs have left us enough for a festive roast dinner.

Paydirt.
