After Xmas camera and plot check

My main task after the long Xmas break was to check the cameras - just a week later than I should but I, and everyone else, was a bit busy!

It didn't help that I had forgotten the wallet containing the SD cards but I carried on checking the batteries. The two cameras covering the gate, though functioning, were low on power so I changed their batteries but the other three seemed okay so I decided to leave them until next week when I will change both batteries and chips. Perhaps the fact that there were few visits to the site meant that there were few photos taken. Quite a few photos of our foxes showed on the cards last time. They visit most nights.

Getting to my plot I noticed frost damage on some of the greens but managed to harvest a couple of small Savoy's and even a handful of 'autumn' broccoli. I cleared the carrots from one of my tubs, all but one were tiny! I left the leeks, they will stand whatever the weather. I did, however, pull a couple of Swedes both small with long necks -  because I didn't thin them out enough.

The surprise was that the cauliflowers are developing. They are well wrapped up in leaves but one looked a bit exposed so I pulled it to take home to add to the bought one we have.

​I’m still trying to solve the picture problem on the blog. I’m not sure what has changed - they came out perfectly before!
