Long hot summer days... in April....

It's been such lovely weather, if I was a pig, actually if I was allowed.... this is what I would be doing too!  Unfortunately the expecting sow had to be put down this year so no little piglets.  We take in our veg scraps for them, they go bonkers for banana skins.


My Auntie Ann gave us some of her surplus 'Fred's Magic Beans' plants and I've also sown a row of leaf beet.  You might be able to see a darker line of compost, this is to give them a fighting chance, as the clay soil seems to have turned the plot into a rock garden.


This is how close the hungry donkeys are from our juicy rhubarb!


Mum and I made this archway out of willow harvested from the farm.  It's hopefully going to be covered in sweet peas in the summer.  A little visitor curiously asked me what I was up to and after I had given a rather long explanation, she answered 'so what you're *trying to say* is like a really cool climbing frame for plants?'.
