Another fantastic day getting stuff done down on the smallholding.
Todays first plan was to get the little chicks out the shed into a posh des res now they are fully feathered. That went really well. A few pallets and a bit of wood work and a roof (that the storm took) can be created. The chickens moved from the shed into their new chicken coup. One of the chickens ate all the spiders in their and the others quickly acquired a taste for grass.
The baby lambs other then milk time they ran off under the gate and into the big field where they happily munched grass and leaves all day.
A lot of strimmed done and loads to be done. Quick check on the fruit i have berries on the blackcurrents, and gooseberries. Not had any fruit off the gooseberries yet so well chuffed that me rescuing them and putting them in a better position worked. also raspberries coming on and even a flower on the strawberriers.
Herbs doing well, potatoes earth up now just got to get some digging so can get seeds and young plants outside.
Polytunnel - well thanks to my neighbours suggestion polytunnel is up again. Smaller but up. The ripped seem was the front seem and just wouldnt pull to gether in a way that looked safe. So answer rather then not have one the poly tunnel was made smaller. Have turnned the door to face a more sheltered spot away fromw winds coming from the sea. I just got to pray now no high winds until i can get a door kit as the door opening is held together with a clip!! Might be genius or just wishful thinking. I think will give it a few days before putting any valuable plants in just incase!!
