henhouse

23th may 2008 small update

Apart from getting my new hens, nothing much has been done. A lot's grown as you can see; some good and some bad... My indoor tomatoes's are still bad even though they are flowering. Runners are flowering even had to take the tops out on 2 . Salads' have been great and well eaten but starting to bolt now ( new seeds should be ready to go in next week ) Chicks are out about 8 hours a day And kinda realised i'm in need to fence around my plot :D. Spuds should be ready soon too....I can't wait.

Next on the list is a better & bigger hen house as I've got 4 more coming on July the 19th.

15 may starting my free pallet chicken house

These picture's are slightly out of chronological order!

Yesterday i picked up a load of broken pallets, and to make use of them...(better then burning or sitting in a landfill)I decided to go online and look for hours for an online plan of how to build a chicken house ... couldn't find much good advice; so just decided to wing it and work it out as i went along. Got a lot to do tomorrow to finish it and make the CALL :) Think i will get some ex- battery hens.... lucky a lady from BHWT lives just up the road!!I Just cant wait to get my chicks

Just a small update As iv been busy /lent my cam out ;/ so pics taken from a phone cam , still Most things are doing OK just not my tom's just about 95% have started to curl . Not that worried about it atm and going to wait to see what happens , I can guess the crop per plant will be less but started a salt epsom fix for this week lets see if that helps . apart from that im happy with the crop growth this year + the amount of bees/ladybirds about even caught some at it .....

pond continues

Decided to crack on with the waterfall . Iv been strugling over the fact that this ....really looks out of place :D and 50 50 on just taking it down and using the ground for what i made it for GROWING VEG . Till i got an offer to build one for somthing else and this time il have new materials to work with ,unlike this one made out of freebies & gear i already owned. So as they must of liked I'm gonna finishthis one .18 pounds worth of plants later heres the almost finished pond . Il make my mind up once the plants are grown abit if to keep or not .

Pond day :D

I 'v decided to change my pond today As a friend had some leftover pond liner :D Be getting the slate sheets tomorrow to finish it off


Re potted my suns and stuck outside to try bulk them up . They are abit wimpy atm :/


Finally got to pot up the new poly G/H So pleased as i can now put toms /cuc's in main G/H in there place for the year .

Toms are growing very slow for some reason but my squash and cours are just starting to flower .

In the Greenhouse

Everthing in my greenhouse this year is very confused! Still it's doing ok, wish i'd planted my chillis /toms in December now as they are still pretty small. Really happy with my Scallopini yellow marrows and courgette's just hope they dont get too big before I can plant them out.
