Family day

Another good day on the plot with a lot getting done without doing a lot, if you see what I mean...

Raised bed number two has been thoroughly dug over, weeded and manured and I think this is where the sweetcorn will go this year.




Early carrots have also been planted in my larger, wooden container. The Sea Kale, sewn last year from seed collected in Littlehampton a few years back (is that legal, I really don't know!), has burst back into life, and a new herb garden has been readied in my second butler sink.

Helen has cleaned out the animals and weeded both the front fence and the rhubarb patch, one crown of which seems to have died off over the winter. I also managed to get Joseph weeding for about half an hour!




The kids ran around for a while with a young friend and the dogs were, generally, well-behaved.

I'm pleased to report yet another half-dozen eggs from our ten layers, and one of my Seramas is back in lay! A strange shaped egg and quite large for the smaller girls; it certainly sounded like it smarted a bit!
