Chickens

Four new hens today. Point of lay pulletts, about 20 weeks old. They should start laying shortly. Kehoe poultry farm New Ross, €8.25 each

Flowers

Even the flowers here dress in the Wexford colours!

Judy's Roses

I have moved some of my mums roses from Kildare to Wexford & it looks like they are about to bloom. I'll post some photos of them in bloon later

Fast Crop

If you want something to grow really quickly, try radish - they will begin to show after 6 or 7 days. Not everyone's cup of tea. They are often used to mark where you have sown the slower crops. Happy digging.

Japanese Spruce

Aren't the purple cones beautiful on the Japanese Spruce?

Blanket Returns

I found our missing hen, Blanket, this morning. She had started brooding & set up her own nest to hatch some chicks, unfortunately she would have a long wait since we don't have a cock, therefore no fertile eggs (see birds & bees lesson two). Must keep a close watch on her till she settles - isn't nature just magic?

Chives

Egg & chives sandwiches for anyone? As you can see a great crop of chives, but no eggs! New hen search starts today, I'll keep you posted
