October 2023.
I should have said -we have had a bumper crop of apples eaters and cookers - the best year yet. Freezer is full up !
After a very poor growing season - some things did very well - but others like the tomatoes were very disappointing.
The main growing and selling of produce has just about finished - so we are now planning next years growing ! and ordering seeds and hoping for a better year.

Potatoes growing in a compost bin - full of kitchen waste. ust starting to flower. A bit late planting seed potatoes- but there might be a few dinky spuds for Xmas !

weather pretty grotty -nothing growing well -lots of bugs and other insects !

03/06/2023

Managed to hatch five ducklings this year ! They are growing well and will soon be moved to a larger enclosure !
The weather for the last two weeks has been sunny - BUT we have had chilly strong winds which has not helped ! A bit depressing .Salad crops are doing well and the tomatoes etc are slowly coming on.
The Boss is very busy keeping up with the demand for the salad and herb mix bags. - so here he is having two minutes respite !!

November is here with lots of wet and windy weather. But the flowers are having a second bloom. The salad crops ,tomatoes,peppers , chillies,cucumbers and courgettes have finished for another year. Its time to clean and disinfect all growing areas.
Hunter the Huntaway dog has been with us for one year (11thNove,ber) and what a character he is ! He looks after Sparky and guards her from Tommy Thor who is a bit of a bullyboy!

October is here again - how the year is flying by.
The toms and peppers have finished - what we did not sell have been frozen for later use.
Lettuce and herbs are still growing well - they prefer cooler weather for growing rather than the bursts of hot weather we have had.

Well today the start of the Bank Holiday weekend, we are having some much needed rain - thank goodness !
But after much drier weather over the last few weeks we have managed to get quite a few jobs done around the place. We managed between us to put up new fascia boards on the gable ends of the bungalow - we managed to recover one polytunnel ready for growing in the ground, we dug up potatoes in the jungle of a greenhouse - helped by our dogs !
Still more jobs to do - they seem to be never-ending - but we plod on !!! As ever.

Found in the Greenhouse !

Well Summer progresses !
The weather has been slow in improving but we have had heat waves and then torrential rain and then hot weather again.
Here are just a few pictures !

12/07/2022

After a couple of scorching, unbearable hot days - it was nice this morning to get out in this cooler damp morning. The forecasters say there is more hot weather on the way. The heat is slowing down and stopping any growth in the polytunnels.
So just a couple of pictures !

rodent visitors after the bird food !
Hard to get rid of because small birds and other animals around.
Think they are pretending to be squirrels - all part of the joys of country living !

Nine ducklings hatched and eating us out of house and home !
Diet of scarmbled egg, chickcrumbs, duckweed and chickweed. Brings them on a treat.

Took advantage of the dry weather and cut the field where the dogs play ! The three amigos enjoy running around this field and we were fortunate that Dad cut the field before he the rain that arrived the next day !
