Final flourish of the winter

We had a cold spell in the middle of February and the temperature drop was too much for the Palmenkohl - they just withered and died. The savoy cabbages were gnawed through at the trunk and at the base of the leaves, just leaving the "soft" flat part of the leaves behind. I expect it was mice or voles looking for something sweet to eat. The romanesco plants just rotted before the hearts got bigger than a tangerine. The only real winner was the kohlrabi.

There are still a couple of good looking plants left before the brassicas are all done. Meanwhile in the orchard, there are a few splashes of colour as the crocuses come through.

I look forward to the leaf buds setting soon.
