Another week passes and unfortunately little done in the garden! That east wind is blooming cold! Still, some work done. Another bed forked and weeded. That bed will be turned into a "no dig" bed. One more bed started only to find lots of self seeded parsnip seedlings. I will more than likely just thin them out and let them be. Parsnips are a difficult seed to germinate and when they do so without any encouragement, well, one has to go with flow! I am now thinking more about where to sow stuff and as the end of January creeps up it will be time to buy seed potatoes! The propagator will need dusting down.

Chickens are being chickens and the main flock has really got the hang of the treadle feeders. No more feeding the rats! Not that there are any at the moment. My campaign to eliminate them has worked! Slight drop in average daily egg production - 3.7 per day, however, despite giving thirty six eggs away I still have fifty five in trays!
