wet wet wet

I wish it was just a pop band. Unfortunately its whats my smallholding is about at the moment. Its that time of year that you wish the rain would stop and that your pigs had wellies!. Talking of pigs its nearly their time they have been great pigs no escapism other then last few days. I thought they had lost respect of electric fence until I realised the cable to the fence was broke. All mended so pigs have stopped being sheep pigs.  Sheep I suspect I still have two pregnant sheep  who all seem very healthy.

Bees are hibernating well - I am keeping them well fed and they are ok.

Willow and tree chopping has been delayed due to poor weather and plus I cannot get chain saw to work boo hoo. working on a solution for that. I think carburettor set incorrectly so going to ask a engine mechanic friend.

However on the sauce, preserve spice mix front been busy plotting and planning new flavours. February the time of experimenting new tastes and new exciting produce.

Tomorrow unfortunately is storm Doris repairs to my shed. I may manage to get in my polytunnel for thinning out the spinach. Yes supermarkets may have a shortage of spinach but I do have baby spinach. I will get the plug in buy local, Buy british!
