Bean and Gone

well, the broad beans have had it. Looks like chocolate spot desiese, so they are coming out and probably a root crop going in their place. Its a shame, but perhaps my own fault. I think they got damp under the polytunnel. Only Sams bean plant in its own tub has survived, and is flowering.

On the positive side, the broccoli is sprouting, and the garlic and spring onions seem to be doing well. The early carrots and spring cabbage have now come out from under their fleece. It looks like the cabbages might need some anti-slimycreature pellets around them.

The run for the chicken house is now almost complete, just needs a door! i may also put another wire framed end on, nearest the house, with a 'tunnel' from the pop hole. This is because i am putting the house on wheels, and sealing the run against predators might be a bit tricky. It will depend how it looks when the wheels are on.

The house door now has two bolts to secure it, and a pair of struts have been fitted to stabilise the door end of the house. I am also going to fit a window to let extra light in to help encourage laying. The pop hole ramp and the pearches still need to be fitted as well.

The spuds are all chitting nicely, ive build a bench in the garage that they are now stood on.
