The Greenhouse gets a clean!

We had a hysterical time cleaning the greenhouse this weekend. Our Son got hold of the pressure washer and I seemed to get as wet as the grenhouse, I did get my revenge with the watering can later! Now we have a crystal clear greenhouse, no moss or green bits and Charles surprised me this morning as he had made me some fantastic staging for it.

I have moved the sweetpea seedlings from our rather cold North facing porch onto the new shelves and I am sure they have grown in the few hours they have been in their new sunny site! On Saturday I just recieved my seed orders. I usually get a mix from Marshalls and Unwins I do find that Marshalls Onions are fantastic. This year I am trying white onions but Red Barron is one of our favorites. Now I better crack on outside with my seedlings and get them installed in the " spring cleaned "greenhouse.

New Bird Boxes

Today our new Wildlife Boxes arrived. We love the wildlife on the farm and have always encourage it where possible. We already have several birdboxes and feeders. One very special one our Daughter made with my Father it is like a little house with a proper lead roof, last month it had a makeover and a new coat of paint and is now back in pride of place! I thought it would be fun to add to our collection hence we now have a Bat box which is going to go near the front garden,a Butterfly and Moth habitat-feeder which we are going to put in the orchard along with a solitary Bee beehive, again I think the Orchard will be the best place for this with all the fruit trees and I also bought a Squirrel feeder and hope it may attract some red squirels to the garden. It is lovely that the Owls are around and the feeders in the Cherry tree are a mass of Goldfinches. We are thrilled that guests have been adding to our list of sighted birds.
