A few spring showers and cooler weather this year meant that the garden picked up nicely, there is still a huge amount of work to do removing the nutgrass lawn and installing an irrigation system for the orchard, but it will happen.

Trying to get the belgian d’uccle back into the hutch, she is a fast little thing.

But success!

And finally the chickens under my broody hen hatched, sadly only two out of the 8 eggs hatched, but I suspect that 8 was far too many for her to keep warm.
