August 2010

Ah....discovered out resident frog is living in the veggie patch, good to see him back, alive and kicking!
After much surfing I have found the perfect chicken coop with a double run....only £294.98 + £17.49 bargain! the run is only 70cm high, so it will fit nicely under the apple tree at the end of the garden, cool.
All my seedlings inside the mini greenhouse are absolutely covered in caterpillars, what the ......? Saw fly larvae, bastards!
8.8.10 flying ants everywhere this afternoon, makes my skin crawl, but fascinating to watch!
Ive been having caterpillar salad nightmares, when will i have decent sleep again?
Have potted all strawberry runners, taken box cuttings.
22.8.10 Plucked my first Braeburn apple, delicious, cant wait for next year, the new tree only have x2 apples on it, and yes i know i should have snipped them both off, but couldn't resist.
Harvested the sweetcorn, maybe a bit too early, not very big cobs.
Most of the different courgette plants have been absolutely useless apart from the normal green ones and the yellow kind, next year will only plant them.
All in all, a very wet August! but good for the plants.
