And I think the catkins are Poplar Catkins…..

They also look like, Heuchera seedlings!

I don’t think we caught any frost but, it certainly wasn’t far off!

We have quite a lot of Red Kites here now…..and there is a bloke that has had an infestation of mice at the sheds at his house, so he has been trapping them, chucking them on his allotment and after a few days the Kites were coming everyday to pick them up! That is good news about the new Cider Orch...

I always thought salt could alter the ph of the soil and if used liberally, can even make the soil sterile…..so I don’t think it’s a good idea at all!

Pleasant thoughts, Clive….

It’s been chucking it down for a couple of hours now and the wind has a real bite to it again!

Soon back to normal, just been and picked some Rhubarb for my Mum and it’s started raining again, so had to make a run for it….well more of a fast hobble!

Sounds like you had a very successful day, Clive!
I chain-harrowed one of the fields today, a job I really enjoy, as it brings back happy childhood memories of working on the local farms….

Had Big Bertha out doing a wonderful job of rotovating, she certainly makes short work of a large area, when conditions are favourable!

Now there’s a good question, Primrose…..I would like to think so!

Birthday wishes….still miss him loads, not being on the forum.

I think there’s plenty about, so i’m going to protect my seedlings!

This is a bit more like it but, as Clive said, it’s a job to know what jobs to do first….started really early this morning and got work proper done, and then shot over the allotments and planted 120 potato sets…..now time for a spot of lunch!

Not a bad day…..even a little sighting of the Sun, this afternoon!

Managed to get some border work done at one of my jobs this morning but, now just started raining again so, back in the glasshouse again….
