The Net and Polytunnels.
Inside the polytunnel as it is this year ...
... and as it was on this day last year.
Where are all the veggies .... the chickens have been eating them during their enforced stay undercover during the Avian Flu crisis over the last few months. Also sacrificed as chicken treats and something to peck at that they could find suddenly hanging from their tree when they got fed up with layers pellets and corn, were all my Purple Sprouting Broccoli plants from the net tunnel.
Oh well, it's a fresh canvas in the tunnels to start from now ... and the chickens have had their freedom since the first of the month so they are busy scratching for bugs, eating the last of the over-wintered windfall apples and rummaging through the woodland on wet days :-)

ReplyDeleteOh Sue - it's so lovely to see this post. I've been checking regularly, hoping you would be able to return and continue your blog - and here you are!
ReplyDeleteMy poor 'Egg Man' still has to keep all his hens in their great barn, because there have been further break-outs in the area, so now he can no longer advertise his eggs as 'Free Range'; I'm sure his poor hens are very sad, too as they used to roam in a huge field along with the sheep.
I do hope you feel ready to resume your interesting updates on all things growing or animal-related . . . .xxxx
'OUTBREAKS, outbreaks' not break-outs!!! Doh!
DeleteNo pressure...........but as you can gather from the above, we need you.
ReplyDeleteYes, you ARE a dearheart, and all these folk have missed you. Such a joy to read and ENjoy! Have been keeping up with past posts for the sheer pleasure of it!
