A NEW START


What a great day to start blogging, the sun is glorious after the past weaks of snow and rain. Perhaps Spring is not so far around the corner after all! Our wonderful bantam Wyandottes are coming back into lay and we recently discovered that a couple of our new Dorkings lay beautiful blue/green eggs, unlike their palls who are all white egg layers. Im over the moon, i have always wanted a selection of coloured eggs, reminiscent of those my grandma used to have.

All the kitchen garden seeds are sorted and ready for sowing, whilst seed potatoes purchased at Hampshire Potato Day are layed out neatly and beginning to chit. This is such an exciting time of year, a new season awaits with everything poised to burst into bud, and the garden positively beckoning us to start sowing. Meanwhile i shall get on in the kitchen, making yet more Marmalade before the Seville Oranges leave the Veg Shop.
