Back to the garden

I was hoping to come back from holiday and have masses of produce waiting for me. But there doesn't seem to have been the growth spurt I was hoping for. Not sure what the weather's been like...

So just a few odd jobs. I dug in an enormous amount of compost into the old potato bed and planted out some of the winter cabbage and cauliflowers that have been growing in the greenhouse. Pulled up the onions (they can only be described as pathetic - I will post a photo later), got rid of a few dead things and have started digging up the strawberries and their runners into pots as I am going to move them somewhere else next year.

Our lovely chicken ladies and still doing fine and are getting quite chatty and very nosy. Still no eggs since the three we had in their first week. Soon we will have had them for a month so hopefully they will start laying more regularly soon.
