Seedlings and a nest of duck eggs

Tomato seedlings potted on from trays - we are trying a few different varieties this year.

Cucumber seedlings.

Sweetcorn seedlings, at the moment they look quite like little blades of grass.

Potting some herbs inside the poly-tunnel.

Little bay cuttings, which have been potted up.



Our poly-tunnel is beginning to look rather full already.  We have had some cold days recently - but on Friday it was about 30 degrees.


Our hens enjoying a variety of fresh produce discarded by a local supermarket.  They love the fresh salad bags, cherry tomatoes and strawberries.  Sprouts, carrots and broccoli tend to be eaten last!

Our purple sprouting broccoli is just beginning to form little florets and should be ready for picking very soon.

The ducks have started to use the duck house, they have been sleeping outside all through the winter.  We found a nest today with three eggs inside - all cold, so the ducks are not ready to try and hatch any eggs just yet.
