Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
It would have been the perfect day for raising the plastic over the polytunnel frame, but being a Thursday we didn't have enough pairs of arms to help us. The sooner we get the polytunnel up again the better, the ground will heat up quicker and we will gain a week or two in the growing season for the butternut squash.
P has fixed permanent plastic doors at either end of the tunnel. This will help us to control the temperature and also keep the wind from gusting through. By the way, we still have about half a dozen butternut squash left over from last autumn. We had some roasted a few days ago and they taste as good as ever! What an amazing vegetable. We still have parsnips and carrots in the root cellar and a few French beans in the freezer, and strawberries.
