Got back yesterday after a couple of weeks away and went out to survey
the veg situation.

Sprouts and leeks are OK, Curly kale is positively flourishing. Swedes
and even some small turnips and a few remaining carrots also look ok,
but not yet tried them.

The disaster is the winter cabbages (Tundra), which seem to have shed
their outer leaves and started to rot at the base - they are supposed to
be truly hardy! Purple sprouting brocoli is the other casualty, looking
very damaged and limp, with some plants totally collapsed.

Admittedly it was very cold here, minus 18 in town, which probably means
minus 20 out here!

Just hoping that things make pick up.
