Saturday, 23 April, 2016

Beautiful sunny day but the wind is so strong it could carry you away.

We did a bit of work on the foundation of the chicken coop. Got it squared up and used huge nails to connect the pieces. As it is made of 6 x 6 cedar, it is not going anywhere. 
Frank started gathering largish stones to put in the bottom of the feed room side to begin to fill it up. We will then top off with  stone and finally patio slabs so nothing can tunnel in.

Tried to get a bit of work done in the garden. I want to sprinkle wood ash around the garlic, and I tried, but it was just too windy.

Did manage to get about a 1/4 of Asparagus bed number 3 weeded but, again, the wind just kept blowing dirt into my face and after an hour or so I gave up.

Quickly went all around all the veg and fruit beds and weeded them which amounted to about 6 weeds all told.

Daffodils that I planted in the raspberry border (transferred from out old house and they had to go somewhere) are now in bloom and look lovely.

Daffodils I planted last fall under the 4 apple trees are growing a treat. I cannot wait until they all bloom. It will look wonderful.
