Make packing easier, also wouldn't roll of the bench either

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.

A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.

Well that's interesting all the same Gail I will be pulling them up soon as I need to grow a green manure crop so I can get the sugarsnap peas in. Oh well the girls will enjoy eating them its such a shame they were not water melons as I was really looking forward to them as homegrowns ones are not so watery and sweeter..

Cheryl the mind boggles..

Pulled up this Melon vine yesterday and got four, one was starting to go rotten.



So I chopped it in half and gave it to the girls they hoed into it
It seems more juicy maybe because it was rotten

One a day for them cant have them getting pie eyed on Watermelon Wine can I..

These four have not got to the *Off the lay Yet* that happens in the Winter. They only had their first birthday this month so are laying very well. Most days there is four brown eggs in the nesting box there is two boxes there but they only use the one



There was 23 there, but I used four for dinner tonight..

They have lucene on the bottom of the nesting boxes and it gets changed regularly and if there is anything on the shell Tony wipes it off with tissues, it does not happen very often when they are young..
