The garden has been somewhat neglected over recent months (as has this blog) thanks to a combination of bad weather, lack of time and lack of motivation. However, now that spring is here, and our dam is full, I'm ready to get stuck into it again. Luckily, we have two German WWOOFERs coming to stay this week, so they can help with some of the weeding and tidying up.
We had lots of broody hens last summer, so had far too many birds. We've gradually been knocking off the roosters (we processed the last one today), and have given about 20 hens to the neighbours, who run a vineyard and B&B (so need lots of eggs). We traded the hens for wine - here is Bruce, illustrating the exchange rate, which is one bottle of wine per bird.
