Well the weather has been fine all week, and so I have been cracking on with getting the garden ready for planting. But first of all I got my little Kindle garden sorted.
New posts and wire netting, the table and chairs Brendan got me last year, and my Christmas pressie - the Kindle.
It may seem a little wasteful to partition off a bit of the veggie plot just for my Kindle, but it seems highly appropriate to use the bit of shade under the apple tree to shelter under in the summer - it is not as though anything can grow there.
And the netting is for growing my peas and beans up, a living hedge in order to create a private space away from everyone to sit and read - aperos and drinks to be served at 6pm. Not so much Cider with Rosie, but G&Ts with Kindle. (And yes those are carrots - and no they are not for the chickens - I am trying to develop a taste for crudites but without the mayo).

Come on Spring - we are ready for you.
The chickens have really been entering into the spirit too and feeding us well, from left to right - normal chicken egg, double yolker Orpington egg, Goose egg - omlette anyone?

you're an inspiration! I have just bought myself a new wee greenhouse for the back garden, and am itching to get it up, but have to do the clearing work first - ugh! The sight of all those pots, and the expectation that the first sowings of the spring brings is enough to get me out there again - thank you x
