My week 

This week I have been updating my blog design and have created a new header. This update started last week and has been evolving during the week, so it’s changed again. I hope you like it.

I have also increased the amount of walking I’m doing to get ready for Spring hiking and allotment digging, and I can’t wait to get onto my allotment.

 
My five hens

Meet Rosie my hen

A while ago, Rosie’s best friend Daisy died. She used to roost next to her every night and would be looking out of the window in the morning, waiting for me to let them out of their coop.  Rosie was then on her own in a flock of four other ex-battery hens.  

Last night when I settled them for bed, I was delighted to see that Rosie now has a new friend who roosts with her and keeps the flock in the pecking order, just like Daisy used to.

I’m so glad.

Allotment update 

I popped over to my allotment the other day. Everything looks good still, but I still don’t want to dig it over because this time of the year, the insects and bugs are still under the leaves and doing their jobs, and I don’t want to disturb them.  

I have cleaned out the greenhouse, and I am chitting the potatoes to get them ready for planting.  

As you know, I’m not a professional gardener. But I’m just hoping that my updates will inspire people to grow their food and help save the planet. If you need professional gardening advice, try finding a local gardening expert and see if they can help you.
