Chooks helping in the garden
Potting on of seedlings continued along with bed preparation led by the chooks and their Earwig catching prowess. Warmer days but still chilly nights with 4 frosty mornings. A total of 10.8mm of rain fell barely soaking the ground. As clean up continues around the garden I take cuttings from hardy plants that survive our harsh conditions.
