Thank goodness for lockdown because things are getting busy down here on the farm.
Peas are doing well, I have crushed up some extra strong mints and put some peppermint tea bags down because this is said to deter the mice which did a lot of damage last year.
The Broad Beans are doing well…
And the potatoes…
I am growing these in pots because last year I lost the entire crop to wireworm. These have popped up in the garden, left in the ground from last year and I am going to let them grow to see if they are still there…
There is a lot of work to do in the green house of course…
And although the farm is mostly arable there is a chicken to look after…
I have got a couple of helpers from Eastern Europe, one from Poland and the other from Latvia but I don’t know I will manage next year after Boris’ Barmy Brexit…
