Well,
Good news is that we havent had one frost this week. Bad news is that the rain hasn’t let up once. All i have managed this week is a quick rake of my small raised bed. Not really good gardening weather!
The chickens really don’t seem to mind this weather one bit. they look funny with soaking wet feathers. I have covered one side of their run to give them a little shelter but they still just stand on the wet side. Perhaps they are not so bright after all. 
I did manage to fully dismantle the old shed at the weekend, it now just needs the foundations extending by 2ft for the greenhouse. I have decided to raise the greenhouse up about a foot by building a one block high wall and then mounting the greenhouse on treated timber. Should look a bit better too. I did have to uproot and replant the bay tree at the weekend, it would have blocked too much light. I really hope it takes as it is a beautiful little tree. – at least it has had plenty of water over the last couple of days…
Not much progress on the growing front. Spring really is late this year.
The garlic is now 5″ tall and I have just seen the first signs of life from the onions sets planted in the Garden. “Centurians” are coming up first.
