We took our old kitchen tiles to the garden today. They will help to form the floor of the cob shed.
A big lump has fallen inside but Steve slapped the cob mix back on.

Outside a huge bumblebee was sunning itself on the wall.
Our first job was to plant more willow round the entrance to the garden. Hopefully it will make a lovely green screen which we can weave into shapes.
Next we walked down to the owl yurt area to look at the size and condition of the willow circle. It needs a bit of work such as re-weaving the whips but someone has worked hard on giving it a good manure feed.
The shepherd`s hut looked lovely in the sunshine. What a spot!
Our next job was to check on the willow bed. This involved removing the rabbit guards, pulling up the grass around the whips and replacing any that had died. I think they are doing really well and lots had survived.
I used my Valentine`s Day present (so romantic) to pull weeds around the plants.
I am very pleased with it.
On the way back through the garden we noticed the rhubarb starting to grow away.
We also noticed the owl box that Steve made last year was in situ....exactly the right position too.
Thanks to Tim and Anne.
Let`s hope we get some visitors.
The tiny wooden house is on its way...all very exciting.
Here is a great link which I have enjoyed.
