Well at last

Well the weather is lovely at long last and my veggies are doing well at the moment but I have not had much success with my onions this year as they are far to small.

Why this is I don't know but I have a feeling that the onion sets were planted to deep and so now they are around the size of golf balls instead of cricket balls.
Well i will know for next year or as I still have some left over may be I can put some more in this week and then I'll hope to have some more for the winter or early next year I hope.

I know that the Allotment holder next to us John his name is and he is a very nice old boy.
He is going to give us some Leeks plants as he did last year and he is all ways giving us greens for out hungry Chickens. I say hungry but they are not they are just greedy little so and so.

Well talking about our chickens we now have one that has become Broody and that is making my Wife Sheila made as when she goes to sort them out in the mornings and last thing at night there is one little lady who is sitting on the eggs we have and when Sheila goes to get them the little sod pecks her hand.

At least she will go and tend to them and so will I but I am still finding it very hard to get about. But our 2nd oldest son Francis well he acts all big and hard but he will not or can't get hold of the chickens to see if they have laid any eggs as he afraid of them (should we call him He Man??) I think not.
I find that our youngest son Shane will go into the run and pick the chickens up and he will try to clean them out, OK he won't do it right and he will make even more mess but he does give it a go.
Anyway so sorry that I haven't got any photo this time but I will get some for the next blog tomorrow or if I go to the plot tonight with Sheila I'll take a few then and put them up tonight.
Well I hope you all have a very good afternoon and a good night, I've just been told that it's not going to get down below 15 or 16c tonight. This is in Suffolk.
See you all soon.
