Snow covered cold frame

I sowed beetroot; last year’s ‘Boltardy’ (good until 2010, it says on the packet) and ‘Detroit 2’. I also planted leeks ‘Almera’ in a seed tray with a lid. As all my basil has died over winter, I planted some seeds in a single 3” pot.

Leek ‘Almera’
A firm long slim type, ideal for slicing and also for mini leeks. The leaves are very dark green and upright. For autumn and early winter harvest.
