Hi all, just caught up with all your posts, been working in Cirencester, so not able to access this site till my broadband is sorted there.
Having a great year for squash and toms, will make chutney tonight as i have so many to get through. Got away with not getting blight on my outdoor tomatoes thank goodness, so will have tomatoes for some time this summer!
we have had some rain at last,
Shed sounds impressive GG, put up some pics when you can.
We have chickens on our site, I feed them all the slugs and snails I come across, so they cluck when they see me coming
Ginagibbs will add pics when bit more done still only bottom layer of shed covered with sheeting - hoping to do more tomorrow, looks like it will be a sunny day and less windy
GWRS on site here you are allowed 10 chickens that would be a lot of eggs and big cage, you have to have your coop and run inspected to give the go ahead - how is you gate?
Hello went on another horse poo mission today - dug bagged aload took to plot emptied it into 1 tonne bag - then we had a small snack and off for another car load more digging shovelling and bagging, back to plot to empty another 1 tonnes worth of manure and we even put some on ground where potatoes were - took till 7pm to get that all finished
Gave next doors chicken some lettuce they were enjoying that
spent a good 4 hours at the plot yesterday, watering , weeding, harvesting, mowing etc so all up to scratch again! (was feeling guilty as I hav'ent been up much lately, garden and social life taken over a bit!!) Came home with 2 big bags of produce, we are living on courgettes and tomatoes still!
Heard some bad news about our horse manure deliveries , the usually supply fell out with his girl friend and gone to live with his daughter , he is 80 & she a mere 64 and selling horses
Somebody found another source but she had just fell off her horse and broken hear arm , hope she gets better soon
