Well, so much for the unseasonably warm winter we have been having. Enter one of the worst cold fronts in recent European history. Our highs have been about -5 C for the last week, and nighttime lows about -20 C. This is supposed to continue for another week (update it lasted for 3 weeks) or so. The only bright side (for the people) is that it has been relatively dry, which means safer travel whether by car, bike or foot. I am sure my plants would appreciate the snow cover though. I am sure that remaining pak choi and mizuna is long gone update they are looking yellow and ratty but hanging on, and I hope that the bulbs, tricked into early growth by the warm weather, make it through this cold spell.
In other news, the balcony, which I use as a refrigerator in the winter months has turned into a deep freeze. (Every inch is prime real estate in Europe! no space to be wasted on a large fridge) Does anyone have ideas for frozen kimchi and frozen heads of cabbage?
I hope spring is on on it's way, so the excitement and planting madness can begin!
