We are moving into our usual gradual launch into spring and the soil is actually in a good workable state at the moment when I can catch it during a dry down after our frequent winter rains. I hope the hardier items perk up after the thaw and give you some more harvests yet.kitsapFGhttp://wwww.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-7125513795195805272012-02-14T03:35:21.648+00:002012-02-14T03:35:21.648+00:00Great photos! :)

I did manage to harvest some leeks and a frozen cabbage for tea on Saturday before the snow got too deep, but I couldn't find the parsnips as they were already covered! I suspect the spinach and chard may be done for, but I have high hopes for the purple sprouting and the sprouts!Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-3748246411648244832012-02-07T19:15:37.596+00:002012-02-07T19:15:37.596+00:00Plummy Mummy; Yes, I do harvest Bay leaves frequen...Plummy Mummy; Yes, I do harvest Bay leaves frequently - but not from the ornamental ones.

I've brought my lemon tree upstairs (lugged up two flights in its pot, it's about 5' tall!) but my bay tree is just a nipper, bought last summer, so it's under fleece, also on my balcony.
