Below Zero

The greenhouse thermometer is giving us an idea of how cold its getting at night now, only had a couple of very light frosts at home, only had to de-ice the car once.  Coldest recorded so far in the greenhouse is -3.5.  Chillies are still doing OK in there and there are even some flowers on the Super Chilli!  Forecast is supposed to be for mild weather for the next week or so but expect we will see much lower figures before the winter is over.  Shortest day in a couple of weeks though so Spring wont be too long in coming.



Interesting to see how the 2 different brussel sprouts varieties I planted have performed this year, did a couple of rows of F1 Brilliant and a little block of Fillibasket.  F1 Brilliant has proved to be very productive, have had lots of meals from these already.



Yet the Fillibasket variety are very tall and weedy with not many decent sprouts, some have not a single sprout on.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No prizes for guessing which I'll be doing next year......

So, more mulching and chicken muck spreading today and a general check around, all is very quiet down there.  Still got to get down there with pen and paper and do some planning for next year.
