Transplant, transplant and yes transplant!

Our snoozing Ouessant sheep flock

Poly tunnel tomatoes

    The weather has been variable with sun and showers. Still, it has not been too hot to work in the garden.
   The last week has been dominated by transplanting. Tomatoes, sweet peppers, (orange mini bell, yellow stuffing, Wisconsin Lake red, large orange) cauliflowers, cabbages (Precoce Louvier, Golden Acre), chili's (Basque, Nigel's Green Jalapeno pepper), basil (Lemon, Mammoth Lettuce leaf, Sweet Genoese) with still more to do. Also Gigante runner beans, Borlotti beans, dwarf french beans (haricot vert), radish, winter squash and more basil sown. Amongst all that asparagus was cut, radishes pulled, lettuce cut, last of the leeks dug up, weeding, fence fixing and mowing the grass! Phew! Busy time.
  On the animal front one of our hens, Mrs Chick, has gone broody and was sitting on six eggs. Unfortunately one egg was nibbled at by another chicken and had to be removed. We will be very fortunate I think to get any chicks. Mrs Duck continues to lay daily and the sheep, well are being sheep.
