The Plants are growing.

Well since my last post the vegetables we have planted have mostly started to grow well, the potatoes and onions are doing particularly nice.

But along with the successes we have failures, the peas and runner beans have failed to show with the exception of a few pea plants, we have therefore purchased some plants to put in that should not fall foul of the pesky pigeons.
My parents had some spare runner bean plants so they will be going in this week to replace the failed runners, both the failures are we think due to wildlife rather than any type of problem with the soil.
the greenhouse is doing fine and I now have more tomato plants to bring on ready for planting out.
The green pepper plant is doing well but the Yellow pepper plant is the same size as when we planted it really so i don't know what this is going to do.

I also now have a cucumber plant.
Elena's little patch is doing very well with the seeds we planted all coming on nicely.
The sticks are there for the sweet peas that have come up so far.

We have been hard at work getting the old Kennels into shape as a chicken coop.

With working pop hole.

Ladder, perch for roosting.

And nesting boxes.
We have yet to get the fencing sorted, we plan to use electric fencing as it means we can move the run easily/
We intend to use the area next to the coop under the tree's for the hens to scratch around and shade them from the sun.

We intend to get the hens the middle of next month.
Our window boxes and hanging baskets are doing well with the petunia's starting to flower.

We should be in for some strawberries soon too.
We will keep updating as the garden continues to grow.
Thanks for looking.
