The hot weather, we have been having, has been great for the plants. Those ferns and hostas next to the pond are starting to look great.
We moved some of the chipped bark to create a path from the pond through to the end of the flower bed. When the plants grow it will be a quick way through to the patio.
The vegetable garden...just turning green with tonnes of spinach, when they say perpetual, they really mean it! Soon we will take on popeye characteristics or turn Incredible Hulk green, one or the other....
Meanwhile, the chickens have been here nearly a week and today has been a good day for them. This is Omlette who has finally managed to lay an egg with an intact shell. She may need renaming...
In fact, I had a surprise to find two eggs in the nesting box at the same time. That is a first for these ladies. It was a three egg day in total today. I was so pleased with them that I gave them some disgusting looking mealy bugs. They loved those. Now I know, that when I let them out into the rest of the garden, how I can entice them back into the coop if corn doesn't work...
