What a difference!

I joined grows on you last year but after a busy begining of the summer I had an unfortunate accident on my horse and broke my arm. Ooops. This put me out of action for the rest of the summer in the garden and before I knew it, autumn term had started at uni and I was back to Birmingham.

We had planned on starting a garden in my student house, unfortunatly reports of thefts from surrounding gardens put us off, so we made a little herb guarden instead.

Well now Uni is over (except for a few exams) and I have perminantly moved back home with the parents! They are pleased I think despite what they tell friends because I am in charge of the kitchen and shopping :-)

For quite a while I have dreamed of rescuing some battery chickens and this weekend we did! My dad worked hard at putting their run up whilst me and mum went to collect them! We now have 3 happy girls :-) They seem to be picking up normal chicken behaviour quite quickly, although they are unsure of the ramp up to their house and have to be put to bed at night, I’m sure they will get used to it after a while. Once they are a bit more settled we will build them a larger enclosure so they can roam around the garden, but at the moment they are quite hard to catch so we will wait a little while untill they can be caught.

My vegtable patch has extended accross the patio (the only space my dad will let me have, I’m not allowed to dig up his garden….) and Ive put my name down for an allotment in my area.

The weather at the weekend was beautiful! However I did get a bit sunburnt. Ooops!

Happy gardening :o)
