The kitchen has been a hive of activity as Rosie has been busy cooking dishes, blanching foods or bagging up vegetables for the freezers with our harvest to get as through the winter months. The hens are laying well and both the turkeys and cockerels are fattening nicely.
I've been working on tidying up the vegetable garden. When we originally scrapped the soil off, in our haste, we were not too bothered about the edges and it wasn't until the vegetables started to grow did we realise how bad they were (the edges, not the vegetables). So I have been straightening them and, firstly, it is starting to look very smart and, secondly, has given quite a lot more growing space. Or you could say less grass cutting for me and more weeding for Rosie!
The forecast is for good weather over the next few days so we can carry on in the garden before starting on internal works which I am planning out for the next few months.
Lovely work with the hedge laying!
