I have just finished ‘How to Grow winter veg’ and 1/2 way thru’ the No dig book . Both very clear and readable and exciting. However my concern is that they relate to temperatures in Somerset and I am half way up a mountain in North Wales!My walled veg garden gets lots of sun as it’s Sw facing and protected by the trees and the lee of the hillside. I also have a 12′ long polytunnel and similar sized green house also both quite protected BUT we have had 4 feet of snow both winter 2009 & 2010 for some weeks and before and after Xmas and up to March. so do I have the remotest chance of growing any veg as set out in ‘How to Grow Winter veg’ or would it just be a total waste of effort and time? I have had leeks and corn salad survive in the garden through winter. I’d love to have salad etc in polytunnel and all the other interesting crops… Any chance?
Happily 12 fruit ripened on my apricot tree to the surprise of locals.. but that’s Summer time:)
