Sadly watched French neighbour stuffing hens from large run around area into fairly small hen house

ur plans for free rangers have taken a blow. I emptied all the water saving vessels around the house into the tubs. Potatoes chitting well. Hanging basket tomato seedlings well on the way. I've filled a trench with farmyard manure for the raspberries and other fruit bushes as the soil is at the top end of alkaline scale. Can't wait to shed the business suit.
