And off we go! A very short entry this time as most of the slots in my garden log are empty meaning nothing has been done. The weather continues to be against me somewhat. The ground is very wet but it is very mild and of course the grass (and weeds!) are starting to grow. A neighbor has even cut their grass! Mind you they have a ride on mower!
Seed potatoes bought, onion sets bought, shallots bought, seeds bought. It is time to get a little more serious. I have now put up the fleece cloche in the poly tunnel. Over the next week I will start to sow tomato seed and maybe some onion seed. The seed potatoes are set up in seeds trays "chitting". This year I have Desiree, Corolle (new to me!), Bonnette Noirmoutieur and a favourite Belle de Fontenay. Here is hoping for another good year for onions and potatoes.
On the animal front the chickens are on a egg laying strike with an average during January of only four a day being laid whereas last January they were laying on average seven a day. Three rams have been moved to a neighbours back garden in an attempt to stop some of the agression going on between the six of them.
I have now moved from no. 6 to no. 5 Champeau de Bas having decided that number 6 was just getting too much to handle! So no. 5 is a small garden with some flowers and a small veg patch.
