Is it Spring?

Certainly feels like it with warm, sunny, blue skies…..

We have….
Been to the cinema to see Igor - that was fun.
Dug over and rearranged a small veg bed.
Turned, moved and mixed up the 2 compost bins - inc taking a barrow load out and digging it into the veg bed. One was really stinky; compacted, anaerobic and full of ammoniac chicken poop! Should do better now it’s all mixed better and fluffed up to let air in.
Played with the chickens.
Did a slug hunt and hand fed the chickens…. :D
Done and hung out one washing load.
Another washing load going at the mo.
Stripped ALL the beds.
Aired fresh bedding to go on beds tonight.

I do have to package up 3 things, chase up a missing parcel and make some dinner (steamed cod with steamed veg and rice) Kids now vegging with nintendo ds’s while I veg on here with a cuppa. I’m going to find some arnica before my lower back seizes up completely…

Oh and the Bramble patch is already full of over wintering onions and garlic that is just starting to get going - 40 garlic and 50 onions. I do want to clear some more space in there this year though and get some shrubs/bushy stuff around the place for wildlife and winter cover. It’s very bare out there when the last crops come out.
