Apparently, its the first day of spring. Mother nature must have a huge sense of humour and really ironic side to her.
After all the sun last week, we woke up this morning to about an inch of snow all across the garden. As usual with snow it looks really nice - a good carpet of think clean white covering up all the mess ive been making lately. Our chickens are not so impressed however - opened thier house, they ran out out, stopped suddenly, and looked confused (more confused than usual anyway) - then they looked at me as if it was my fault and i should do something about it. Luckily they soon seemed to get the hang of it and were happily ploughing thier way through the white stuff (in search of any bugs stupid enough to try and live in a chicken run), when I left for work.
Had a quick look around the garden and at the plants poking through the snow - PSB, sprouts, and the long shoots from the garlic, shallots and onions we put in last year - big carpet of white snow broken up by spots of green stuff. Good to think that its all stuff we planted and not weeds, and even better to think we can eat it all.
Well hopefully it will warm up again soon, and we can get on with planting this years vegies.
Ill try to get some piccies up soon too - plan to spend some time at the weekend tramping round the smallest smallholding (should take about a minute) with my camera.
