FROST

    Four out of seven mornings this week has seen a frost on the ground. Tad cold in the morning! Another week slips by and not a lot done! Do not get it! Where does the time go? Carrots dug up and  repairs made the the two Hugelkultur beds made after chicken raids! I have been putting their dirty bedding on the beds and there is some grain/chicken food amongst it and chickens being chickens this food is far better than the stuff in their feeders! Also there is a layer of leaves on the beds and once they have been down for while the chickens love to scratch and look for bugs and worms. Finally managed to arrange for the three cockerels to be despatched. Two went in the freezer and a small one became the foxes dinner. Sorry to see them go but peace now reigns in the garden once more. Egg production is well up with an average of 6.1 eggs a day being laid. That is more like it!

   There will not be a blog next weekend! Its Christmas! Wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New. Lets hope 2022 is a lot better than 2021.
