Walk about

The rain and winds have stopped. So we went for a bit of a wander around the place 

You can see how much rain we had 

This dam was bone dry! 

It filled up over the last week 



Checking the veggie patch and not much is happening 

The rhubarb is kicking on.  Which is lovely to see 



The first planting is now established and growing well. 

The second is still just sitting quietly. 



The sugar beets have grown. I’ll start harvesting and adding them to my stews and roast them 



More beets in the foreground. The jonquils are happily flowering away. 




No sign of the potatoes as yet. I’m sure they’ll pop up soon 



The frost has Damaged this poor plant. I’ll wait until all frost has gone and cut it back. It should regrow. 



My rosemary is really doing well. I had to cut it back so I could get in and out of the gate 





The bees were all over it. 



It was nice to just walk around.  I ignored all the weeds. I’ll get to them once the weather improves 

The chickens have been let out of lockdown to clean up the small orchard. 

They will spend the day here and go back in their run  

It’s wet so we will get some more sawdust and put it down for them to have a nice clean and dry area to play in. 

This will have to done during the week. The sawdust people are closed Sundays 

Hope you’re all keeping warm or cool depending on where in the wacky world you live. 

Crazy weather all over
