We lost another chook!! 🙁 🙁
Our feisty little Japanese bantam Nihon. Poor little thing, she started looking a bit sad and we were thinking of taking her to the vet but she passed away overnight.
All other girls except our old girl are looking fine and happy. So not sure what went on there.
Ugh… I am over loss this year. I especially dont like the ‘Mystery Deaths’
The self seeded carrot patch with the beetroot is steaming along!
The recent rain was a real bonus.
Since this photo, something nibbled and pruned my tomatoes!
Not sure if rabbit or birds. Bit frustrating as they were looking so fabulous! (All these bar one are from laterals)
I might have to go down and put guards around them all until they get bigger.
Rhubarb going fine
Zucchini are getting bigger but I think need the wire taking off and a little more TLC
Loving having rocket again!!
The cherry plum trees are laden.
The big one might need a severe pruning as the big trunk has split, so we are going to have to do something about it. Its so old, but we dont want it coming down on the water tanks. Could do without that challenge
Hot house still hasnt been tidied up again….
But I spotted baby tomatoes so I am excited.
And we are eating lettuce each night. And I snicked a couple of basil leaves to use in my salad too.
Another lateral ready for planting!
Peas!
We will have to net the corn as its out the back here and we have bunnies everywhere this season.
They will stop being cute if they eat my corn.
An overall look at the garden at the moment.
Apple cucumber… can’t wait for them to climb up our bamboo lattice!
Potatoes flowering
The whole plot is looking encouraging.
Flowers around are pretty.
Jeff picks them almost daily for Pip…
I made a tiny pot of strawberry jam out of these… am enjoying it every morning on my toast! Its beautiful!!
Slow day for me. I caught Jeffs cold… such a pain! Who has time for that nonsense??
I’ll have to hunt out some lemon and do a honey and lemon tea to soothe the throat.
Then I might look at the appalling state of the soap room and see if I can make sense of it!
Enjoy the rest of the week
