Snow in late December 2010
This is a video taken in late December 2010 of some of the allotment sites in Yeovil following heavy snow.
Needless to say there were no gardeners to be seen.
The snow and ice remained during the Christmas period making it very difficult for anyone to harvest seasonal vegetables.
Many roads in the town were covered in compacted snow and ice. The pavements were treacherous to walk on and the temperature stayed around freezing during the day and dropped still further at night.
As Christmas day approached some of the main roads became clear of ice and snow. Of course, most allotment sites are not on main roads and so they remained very difficult to access.
So,for most gardeners this year it was impossible to enjoy home grown sprouts and parsnips on Christmas day. Ironically, the only option available was to travel on main roads to the local supermarket to buy vegetables. Oh well!
