I feel so priveliged! Global warming visited our house last night and has stuck around for most of the morning in one form or another. A couple of inches of snow throughout the night, followed by oodles of sunshine! The Mrs. and I were married at pretty much this time last year, in 21 degree heat.
Am i supposed to have a planting plan for every eventuality? Luckily, the snow didn’t freeze, so hopefully all th elittle seedlings will be happy and growing still. Bizarrely, the cauliflowers i sowed last year seem to have got bigger.
Either way, i think this a good time to introduce a new member of our family - welcome to Snowmonkey - the tail sort of gives it away.

How long did your snow monkey hang around? Pretty much the same here in Telford I didn’t notice many monkeys though..

Nice snow monkey! It was 17 degrees here in London on Friday… two days later we have a good couple of inches of snow on the ground. Madness.

Is your Snow Monkey around or left till next winter?

Looks like a regular winter wonderland out there! Too bad Snowmonkey made such a fleeting visit … you should have scooped him up and stuck him in the freezer.

Glad to see your garden coming on so well, I’m so jealous. Still far too cold up north! Very impressed by your snow sculpture skills…

Hi there - I like you site and i’m impressed that your garden is all given over to growing veg - as a kid we always had spuds & corn instead of roses makes me happy to see it.
Last week I was out harvesting wild salad greens round the nearby mountains when there was a flury of white stuff, I thought it was cherry blossom but it was SNOW. I live in the South of France where it has all gone a bit ape shit - supposedly the apricot & peach harvest will be down 70% this year because all the fruit blossoms were damaged in Feb-March by several sudden frosts.
P.s I will put a link to you on my blogroll http://www.masdudiable.com

All - Sadly Snowmonkey didn’t last very long at all! He wiggled his tail and disappeared until the next time we get snow…which by the current state of the weather will be July!
Natalie - won’t be long now though…i think a heated propogator or two is a good investment, my local garden centre is selling huge tomato plants already!
