Arrival of new poultry and more

No lambs yet think a few days off. 

Last night I went to animal auction today I enjoyed my new arrivals. A pair of Aylesbury ducks, 18 duck eggs now in incubator, 7 hens and a cockerel . No fighting has taken place and they looked all impressed with theit new digs. 

I am gobby 

The fence in field number 2 is now secure. Once these disobedient ewes lamb and lambs old enough they can graze in field number two. Leaving space for project pig. 

Vegetables all coming on well in polytunnel. 

Found some potatoes coming through from last years planting that I didn’t dig up. Pleasant surprise early spuds! 

Very productive couple of days! 

Kts acres update

I made a new door for the polytunnel

Week proud of my new doors and they fit together. A few bits to add to make them winter proof. 

Sheep still pregnant anytime from 28th think have a few days to go! 

Seeds sowed in  polytunnel. Been a productive day. 

New chickens tomorrow hopefully 

The very kind offer of use of a field nr mine for sheep to graze once they have lambed. Very kind Help acquired to secure/mend fencing in said field. 

What a fantastic start to this years season! 

Photo opportunity from the ladies done on the acres

The ladies hopefully pregnant. 

Four beds dug over - it’s going to hurt tomorrow! 

Carrots are looking good. Strawberries haven’t been killed by the sheep thankfully. Gooseberries starting to bud. Herbs coming out. 

Honey bees feed. 

Chillies potted on all looking good. Fingers crossed for a good season.
