Four Layers and Wellies

Still wearing four layers and wellies!!!
It`s May for goodness sake.
But...we have been planting.


Tomatoes, lettuce....
.......protected.
Outside, calendula and more cornflowers are in.
This is Cornflower Corner.
It was time to prune the damson tree which has got somewhat out of control.
Going up through the centre was a huge branch coming from below the grafting. This was the first one to go. Then we took out one very high branch.
It looks much better.
Here it is behind the chicken run.
The very pretty quince blossom is in bloom. 


The insect hotel had more straw added in the last spaces.

Steve has carved two more toadstools.
I was fascinated to watch a wren investigating the hotel.
I am wondering if it is going to use this area to build a nest.
 The chickens were enjoying dust baths in my newly 
tidied bed edges.
 The guinea pigs and rabbits were making good use of their new grass run.

The mother and baby hens were pestering me as I worked alongside them, so I dropped in a few weeds for them to peck around.
Frogs were basking in the sun which appeared just
before we came home.
Globe artichokes were fattening up nicely.
        The cerinthe seems to thrive on the rich soil in the garden.

 We have great plans for this trailer.....watch this space.



The fairy days are fast approaching.....
July 9th.
August 20th.
....in between there will be an open day
August 6th.
Still some work to do, but getting there.
Hope some of you will  join us.
