Green fingers

This is my little garden, I planted the seeds myself, I will transfer them to the main garden when they are strong enough. We have 3 different types of lettuce, tomato, broccoli, butternut squash and more that I cant remember and the writing on the useful signs that I have made have been washed away!

Moles and plants

I spent the weekend pottering, not really doing much, still resting. The main thing that I did was plant my seeds in a large pot. I am now watering them lots and willing them to grow strong so I can replant them in the garden.

The latest on the mole on our project land, is that he is still there, eating out bushes! I have had a few suggestions on how to get rid of him so I hope to try them out by the end of the week and then the mole can peacefully leave our land! If he does not leave peacfully I am willing to use any force necessary !!!!

poorly

I have had a very quiet week as last saturday night i was struck by illness. I thought i might have died!! I spent most of the night on the toliet with a big bucket as i did not know which end it was coming out of next! sorry probably too much detail!
I have recovered slowly this week, i tried to go back to work on tuesday but spent most of it in the office feeling even worse so was forced to take wednesday off as well.
Was back to work on Thursday as I was taking our project caretaker, James to learn how to take care of goats well, as we are now getting 3 goats for the project. so we learnt how to make the best house, how to feed them well, cut the nails and even taking their temperature. i will leave that up to you imgaination how we took that!!!
so its all go with the goats, will put up pictures of our goats when we get them
Looking forward to just resting lots this weekend
