Its a jungle out there!

On the plot that is...
Well, last time I posted we were in the middle of a wonderful heatwave and I was unable to do much cos the ground was like rock. Then it rained..and rained and rained - you get the picture.

As a result of all the wet stuff I now have brambles and nettles springing up all over the place which I now need to cut down and tidy up. On the plus side my almost empty waterbutts are now nice and full.

Been getting work done and plants out as the ground is much easier to dig. I'm not very organised, but given the state of the plot 6 months ago I don't feel I'm doing that badly. Have harvested loads of lettuce, spring onions are coming on, tomatoes are doing well also, got first fruit forming on the Sun Baby toms. Have dug up a couple of spuds to see what was there, still tiny, so leaving them a bit longer.

Chooks are doing great. Laying like mad, got a broody Rhodie, so put some fertile eggs under her. If successful, they should hatch in about 4-5 days as she has been sitting on them for almost 3 weeks.

Will post pics another day, getting square eyes.
