On my return from the UK I have been busy mowing grass before it snowed and rained and getting my early potatoes, variety AGATA, in. Despite the rain and snow the ground has been good enough to dig a trench to plant spuds! Second earlies and main crop to go! Dug up some leeks and some carrots.

Our broody hen is still sitting on her eggs. The first twelve she was sitting on have all been removed by something so another twelve have been put under her and she is staying put for now. Fingers crossed she manages to hatch a few chicks. The average number of eggs, over thirteen days rather than seven due to being away, laid per day was 4.2. Down on the previous period but we suspect something is stealing the eggs!
