2021 - What I did today

We're having an absolutely gorgeous day here today, so as soon as I'd had breakfast I was up and out in the garden.

First I went to see to the new chickens - we've got three chickens already, but went to get three more from Fresh start for hens. They seem happy and I collected 5 eggs in total today

The front garden needed weeding, and when that was done, I planted the bargain grasses I got recently, along with three checkerberries I got from the Swedish furniture shop yesterday

I also planted a Chinese Witch Hazel at the back of the raised bed, just to get it in the ground.

I've chopped back part of the jungle in the back garden, and planted up four small pots of fuschias to overwinter in the greenhouse.

When we went to Greece recently, we both fell in love with the quirky look of Norfolk island pines, and I tried to get hold of some pine cones while we were there, but couldn't find any. I couldn't find any reasonably priced here in the UK either, but low and behold as I was walking around the plants section in the furniture shop yesterday, there they were! Much smaller than what we saw in Greece of course, but I was so pleased to bring that surprise back home to Jay That's been planted up in a big pot today too.

Now on to roast beef and salt and vinegar spuds for a Sunday roast
