Although it's still cold (6*C - 8*C) there are signs of life on the plot - and I don't mean the weeds.
Finally used up the first gas bottle. Had to start a second gas bottle to finish thawing and cooking some frozen home-made squash and ginger soup. Delicious.
Talking of "Home-made" we put some home "grown?" compost round the vine. Looks as good as anything you can buy.
Just before we left we dug up a few parsnips.
