END OF SUMMER UPDATE

well so far so good i have runner beans and courgettes coming out of my ears . Im still waiting for the tomatoes to turn red and my carrots are doing great , The sweet corn has come on loads so i cant wait to take the first harvest from them .

Lets hope that now i have put a pond on the plot that this time next year i should have some frogs about to keep all of the bugs at bay

THE WEED WAR

Well what a difference one year makes , This time last year i was ready to chuck in the towel as i was overgrown with weeds.

Mother nature had well and truly won the battle . But i wasn't going to take it lying down so i thought hard with my fork and spade and it looks like i might have won the battle for this year anyway

RATS

I have been getting quite a few unwanted visitors during the night since i have had the chickens . Got my first catch today not a very nice sight

River cottage


Thought i would post the pictures from the river cottage spring fate that i went to , If it wasn't for me watching the river cottage programs then i would of never found interest in growing veg or keeping chickens . And hopefully Turkeys soon
