Well we have been flat out, hence it has been a while since I posted last. Yesterday was no exception. First job of the day after feeding, watering and walking was to check the incubator as it is hatch day for the ducklings. We finally had the first ones put in an appearance in the afternoon, but the cuteness factor made the wait worthwhile.
Then on to check on the seedling which are fairing well despite the yo-yo of temperatures over the last two week.
Next onto sowing some early peas. It is far to early in the year and the weather to changeable, so we decided to have a go at getting some started off in some old guttering we had hidden in the back of a barn. Fingers crossed for a good transplant once they are finally able to go outside.
And then the big job of the day are it isn’t raining. Keep filling the new raised beds. We top dressed the 8 beds that were already filled last weekend. That just leaves 7 more to fill.
I am delighted to say that is two and a half more done, the number left to do is going down. While I was busy doing all of this george was spending his day in the butchery processing a deer. Lots of lovely venison for the freezer. The day finished with me spotting the arrival of the first flowers on my strawberry table in the large poly tunnel. Not long now to the first strawberry of the year. Yum.
