The ground is perfect for weeding and there are plenty to get rid of....nettles, burdock and docks....all quite pernicious and not wanted on the compost heaps. I do love weeding in damp soil. It`s also good for planting but the spring bedding is not quite big enough to plant out.
Our first job today was to feed the pigs. They are huge. William told us that they are being fed the same amount as when they were small.
My great-nephew is just loving the pigs.
Tim is looking a little too relaxed seeing as its the harvest and planting season. The farrier says he would quite like to be the receptionist at the farm.....it looks like a good job!!! Don`t think it pays that much however.
Spotted this poor little teddy bear. Has he been left behind after someone`s holiday?
He needs someone to love him again.
Steve has begun the construction of the cob shed roof and has taken some good pictures from there.
Here is the other combine harvester in the bean field. There is a lot of work going on round the farm.
As we sat by the pond, a huge green dragonfly flew round us several times, laying eggs I think. As it manoevred under the turf edges, the wings clicked and whirred like machinery. Can`t believe it was laying eggs on bare rock......maybe someone can let me know what it was up to.
I even managed a short bit of film.
The tagetes planted in the greenhouse as companion planting, is still doing well.
