Not as with every winter, I'm making sure the polytunnel does more than keep plants of a more delicate disposition warmer than they might be...they're being properly productive



the kales, the jagged-leaf mizuna, rocket and salads haven't stopped



and having a reason to go harvesting day in day out keeps me aware of any problems that might arise, but (more importantly) in seeing the plants that have already arrived everyday it makes the planning (that doesn't leave my head for a day at the moment) rooted in reality, what they look like, their structure and how they will relate to each other in their place
