Sunny Sunday

Sunday has arrived again and it’s a beautiful day. 

So outside we ventured to get more jobs done 

This wicking bed was left empty as the bottom of the young chickens cage was put into here after every clean out I’ve now taken out the wood shavings as the goodness is now through the soil. 

I topped it up with fresh compost and then added two bags of seed raising mix. I’ve direct sown two types of cabbage for the winter season. I’m hoping that the last of the warm days help them to germinate. 

I then added a top of sugarcane mulch 

The birds like to scratch through the mulch so I used some scrap yarn to try and stop this. I might do a second lot of rows going the other way.  Just to be sure 

Meanwhile the seedlings in the hot house are doing well. 

There seems to be two Different types. They have either germinated and growing well. Or nothing has happened. I’m assuming  those ones will burst forth later. We can only wait and see 



The first packet of beetroot have germinated and growing well. I’ll give them a few weeks more and put the second lot in the other half of the planter 



Remember the rose hips?  

I threw the seeds in here and some hand germinated! 

Even if I get a few plants from all those seeds I’ll be very excited indeed 



So much more was accomplished but I’ll post about that in the next few days. 

Now it’s time for me to have a nice cup of tea. 

If I can get up and make it.
