This is the graveyard wherein lies buried all your summer vegetables.
These photos were taken exactly a week apart : this one taken today, in T-shirt weather. It’s the garden over at Sue & Steve’s house, that I’ve commandeered for the ArtHoliday hordes.
Everything survived a week of snow and sub-zero temperatures – even without the cloche-tunnel in place.
You’re looking at golden turnips, spring cabbage and beetroot, then garlic & shallots, and in the background broad beans. [OK - there were a few casualties . . . ]
