Gardeners!

Gardening/poultry keeping sub-post:

I built a brooder for any new chicks from my flock. My broody hen is nearly 2/3rds of the way sitting on her 17 eggs. However today she was off the eggs for a couple of hours. Although she’s back on them, I fear she will have lost the lot.

They should be ok (I hope)
In my chicken keeping Days this happened, all was fine. They know things these wise birds....

Day off today and it’s lovely (ish)
Duty for the day was doing the decking.
However it’s still filthy and nowhere near ready to paint.
Given it a scrub and ready for the power washing
Take cover
Having a wee break, same as my little gnome pal
Went to Homebase and bought some petunias earlier, will put them in the window box
Still loads to do before the garden looks presentable
Back to work (hi ho hi ho)

Wow. I don’t think mine will ever look so clean and tidy

Looks so relaxing. Love the bike and gnome.

As I didn’t rotate the pic you’ll have to tilt your head!

It's a bent out of shape paperclip!

Spent an hour after work carrying 1 ton of gravel through the house in builders buckets then another 3 hours painting.

Gone through 9 tubs of Ronseal Fence life Plus already.

The end is in sight though!.

Light stopped play tonight..

Fed up with mosquitoes, they serve no purpose in life other than to seek out and annoy humans it seems!.

Had to google that, yep it is a nice tree.

More luck than judgement I think!.

My pots of spring flowers are going well

My new Worx battery operated lawn mower. I got fed up of fighting with the electric cable and dont have enough grass to warrant a petrol mower.

I have not used it yet. Does anyone else use one?

Whats growing well in your garen?

I am pleased with alium "purple sensation". I put 10 in last autumn and they have all come up.

They even look good when the colour goes.

Show us whats working for you.

Got one last weekend. Much faster and huge hassle saver.

My second batch of poppies seem to have all died, so I think I’ll give poppies a miss from now on. From a thousand seeds, not a single plant beyond tiny seedling stage.

I built five arches today, did some weeding with my daughter crawling around eating leaves and daisies.

And watering. It’s been a long while since any rain so I decided to water some, my mint may have been dry too long though - looks terrible.

Something I saved from the bin has flowered some lovely pink flowers, and my summer bulbs are starting to poke through
