Thanks to a spell of wet weather followed by lots of warm sunshine everything here in the garden has exploded!
And we’re starting to reap the rewards from all of our hard work – here’s our first homegrown courgette – yum!

Back to the term time routine
Well, the children are back at school and all is quiet here. The school break was definitely helped by some decent spring weather. Much of our time was spent in the garden sowing seeds, planting out and enlarging the run for the chickens who were feeling a bit cooped up! It feels like the garden is coming together now with the raised linkaboard beds. They seem a great way to grow veggies and are made from recycled plastic.
The chicken run needs some plants to soften it off but the chickens now have tons of space. If anyone has any tips for chicken friendly plants I’d love to hear them. Now I’ve just got to cross my not-so-green-fingers that I can coax a few decent veggies from the seeds!

Many, many thanks to everyone who has popped over to etsy and bought a copy of my cosy pattern. It’s been lovely to see some finished ones already appearing on ravelry and a nice thought that lots of them will be hopping onto breakfast tables around the world on Easter morning!
This week has been a busy one so far. I’ve been giving the beds a last digging over and preparing for our little veg garden this year. With the sun and warmth over the last week the first of my seeds have sprouted

The plum tree is in full blossom and all feels positive and full of promise for the summer ahead!
