We have had a frost continually for three days, this winter so far seems a lot colder than any for over 5 years.
Today I've been harvesting for the first time this year, Leeks are holding up well though we've found that the older variety Musselburgh has deteriorated in the frost and takes more stripping to make presentable. The modern variety we are using is Atlanta which is producing heavier, longer shanks and takes less preparation.
Sam my sisters dog is spending some time with us on the field while Chris is away.
Gyp has worn her new coat for the first time today, last time she was out in the frost she shivered continually, today she was fine.
