Chickens!

Alas they are not on my plot.

Our neighbour has been building an awesome chicken pen over the past few weeks. The whole thing is cobbled together with scrounged parts. Pallet wood, a door that was thrown into a skip, roofing that was being taken off a building. It's been turned into a decent sized, fox proof, chicken run. And yesterday the chickens arrived.




They're still a little suspicious over their new environment. But they've been scratching and dust bathing so they are settling down.

Meanwhile on the plot, our front piece of the broken wheelbarrow is now in full flower.

We've grabbed a handful of Blueberries (before the pigeons do).

The tomatoes going slowly this year. Not sure whats up with them, but they are forming some. The courgettes are still rolling along with their usual vigour (see count below). And we've up-ended one of the potato bags.
