Lambing Update and a Little Garden Prep.

Morning.

We are looking after orphan lamb number two; this one is a little younger than Baa Bach - here he is.


They are keeping each other company quite well; this was taken before the snow!


We are feeding them both and Baa Bach is a thumper only being two weeks old last Friday. She is looking after the younger one; his mum died and her mum abandoned her after her twin died so they are a proper pair of buddies now.

Still a few weeks to go before they go back into the flock as 'regular' sheep but they are enjoying being out in the garden; they have a pen in the shed for night times and pop in and out of the shed during the day when Jon is home, too.

In other news I have done something in the garden, BS, before snow that is! I have taken the top off the cold frame that was behind the Poly House as I decided to change it into another regular bed; it was storm damaged so it seemed a good time to sort it out before, hopefully, the bad weather finishes...

I took the front cover off; decided to leave the frame bit as good for leaning on when working on it!

I gave it a good digging over and weeding, not much to take out luckily, then added some fresh compost.



 

Can't wait to make some good use of it, sooooon!

Bye for now.

  1. That’s a great idea to leave it to lean on. The only thing with my raised beds is I can’t reach be middle without leaning and that would be ideal! X
