Coincidentally

Any hope that the snow might have thwarted slug and snail populations this year was premature as there now appear to be an unusually high number of very small slugs around. On the plus side, there are also a lot of tadpoles. Coincidence?

Green time

Greens - whites and purples - in abundance now, thanks to regular net inspection: The snow weighed down some of the protective nets, allowing pigeons to peck at the exposed growth.
