Still no snow, just a deep freeze

We skirted a frost last night but it's forecast to snow today and frost tonight

These purple French beans (Brunhilde/Brauhilde) and some super keen spring raspberries will probably be the last harvest

The hardest thing about the RHS level 2 as a veg gardener is the existence of flowers & learning Latin names

My hack is to go to garden centres trying to spot them & buying the ones you get wrong in class

Expensive but should have a nice ornamental garden next year

I hit myself on the head with a rake moment later so this is the best photo
