I think we might get a hard winter - and a good thing too. Kill off some of the slugs for starters. Raised beds are the best answer for thin soil although it's more about raising the plants above the water table for me. Hi Jim

I'll need to fleece my onion seeds and sets, and carrot seeds, which I've sown to see if I can get early start for next year, but if it's starting to frost now I don't hold out much hope of a mild winter. Also late planted peas are now ready to start climbing, any idea how to protect them once on wigwam other than wrap fleece over? Good luck with the raised beds, it's the only way I can get some decent soil depth due to plot being on old railway siding. Hi, just had first frost here in Dalgety Bay, Fife.
