All going on today at the Smallholding. Project sheltered vegetable patch is under way. Cleared loads of Blackberries and coppiced some willow trees. When I say some willow there is loads I can see some willow creations in the making. The willow was sawn near the ground so that it will grow back next year healthy and can be used more easily. A bonus for the neighbours as the willow was overgrown and they will get a better view of the countryside. The blackberries attacked me as I cleared them, Worth it though as lovely open space now for my vegetable beds. The raspberry bed was freed from blackberries and other fruit area cleared. Looking a lot better after a day.
As well as chain sawing some willow for me, a friend put the lid on the polytunnel.
It needs finishing tomorrow but will be a great growing space this year. So looking forward to the gardening this year.
The sheep are looking very healthly.
The Ducks and chickens are laying eggs which is great news. I wont mention the ducks escaping episode!!
The new additions the kittens are settling in well. A dog came to visit them today and they stole the dogs bed!!
All doing well down on the smallholding but its going to ache tomorrow!
