What did you do in the garden today?

I'm well over 15 pages behind...

Currently on a trip to bury my parents tomorrow. Getting lots of rain and bad weather at home. Really wish I could see how my garden is dealing with all the rain....

My condolences

Mainly cleaning up time in garden - mowing around it bc I don’t trust anyone near my plants
Bean tunnel filling out nicely. I also have cucumbers and tomatoes in there too. Putting chicken poo chips on outside of it to help fertilize it!
Nasturtiums.
Slow process of turning clay into good dirt.
I wondered where all my worms went - could dig and get a handful. Found them under pile of chicken poo chips

My birds chill in the blackberry patch all the time
It's only a problem when the fruit's ripe

Neighbors clematis is in bloom, since it is attached to my fence, I feel half of it is mine, cos I also water it in summer, I sometimes wonder how he thinks it survived our dry summers

Here is my own clematis, I love it

I wonder what's the problem with my chickens. They free range around raspberry plants and will patiently wait for me to pick the berries to feed them. No one bothered to get raspberries from the bush themselves! I couldn't figure out why? Of course, I don't have the thornless type...

I am surprised, usually the feathers are good insulators my chickens harvest the flowers before they even turn into cherries but they harvest the gooseberries and red currants before I get a taste ( not a fan of red currants anyway, too sour) interesting fact, they don’t harvest white mulberries, maybe cos they are white they don’t “see” them? I am happy, cos I love white mulberries, not to crazy about the dark ones, they are kind of bland

These are older pictures, since I have rehomed my chickens until I can take care of them again

Orpington Chicken, trying to jump

Here is an elegant jump from a chicken which lays green eggs, she is a cross between many breeds and sterile, every year I have tried to hatch her eggs, never got one baby chicken from her, all the other hatching eggs from my other hens mostly became chickens
