We've had our first harvest of salad leaves and radishes. It's pathetic how thrilled I am by it all. It amuses me no end and just seems so right on the most basic human level.
The hunter gatherer in me is happy.
In an effort to stop the birds eating everything, I sprung out of bed at 5.30am and covered the brassicas in chicken wire which I'm now in the process of replacing with netting bought from ebay.
I've got loads of the dead apple tree left and striped several of its straighter branches down to use for the uprights and its all looking more covered (although there is an element of the heath robinson about it all). Now for the slugs, its time for more nematodes which really do seem to have been working. This morning though I saw a slug in amongst the peas and I'm not happy about it. Anyway I'm blathering....
