Greenhouse
Managed to pot up my plants in the sauna I mean greenhouse. lovely and warm in there nearly had to strip off. These plant experiments as to what will grow in there as the temperature changes seem to all be germinating and growing.
Fruit
Still picking blackberries and hacking down blackberries and rescuing trees. Found sloe or Damson bush not sure which but going to try damson/sloe vodka. Todays job is to store apples that arent bruised by wrapping them in paper and shoving them in the shed.
Animal updates
Pigs - doing rather well they are so funny and entertaining to watch. They have broken their food bowl completely and when it rains have a complete mud bath in part of their pen but they seem happy enough.
Chickens - I still have an escapee chicken living in a tree. Tried to catch her every day with various methods. Tried food no luck, tried a net cant get close enough, Tried leaving cat carrier out with food no luck there either. last resort i have ordered a landing net so lets hop I can catch her with that.
Baby ducks and chickens - The Baby chickens now fully feathered have their own coop outside with the old coop pen attached so they have a run whilst they get a bit bigger. I think at the moment they could get through the electric netting if it wasn't on of course. The baby ducks have joined them too in the daytime and shed at night.
Ducks - The two new ducks are certainly part of the flock now. They all spend their time running round after Francis the Drake.
Cats - Toffee is still beating Stardust in the mouse duties - Toffee wonders where her performance related pay/food is. If that where the case Trifle wouldn't get fed!! lazy cat.
Market stall stock
Been cooking and tasting ideas for next weeks market stalls. I have nearly decided the menu. I have invested in some cold food containers for easy carrying.
