Oh Tomatoes!

I forgot tomatoes!
I'll be growing tomatoes. I'll be focusing on cherry toms for this growing season as I don't have as much light as I'd like. CURSE YOU GIANT TREE NEXT DOOR!!
I'll have a mixture of yellows and reds.  I love yellow tomatoes!!
I'll be getting my regular sized toms from my dads garden. Yes he knows. :P

Peas!

I can't stop thinking about peas, I think I've even been dreaming about them! At this rate I'm going to have nothing but peas growing in the garden next year.
Even if its just peas and potatoes I guess that's not bad nutritionally. Man oh man I need more growing space. Somewhere that isn't shaded by that dreadful tree next door. :/

Next years veg I'm hopefully growing:
Peas,
Potatoes,
rhubarb,
raspberries,
strawberries,
broad beans,
carrots,
parsnips,
beetroot if I find space
Chard.
Chinese cabbage,
Barlotti beans.

I'm finally getting an egg a day from my two hens again. Yey! (Not sure if I mentioned I sold my Sebright rooster and hen)
I'm looking after the baby chickens over Christmas, that normally live at the school. I might get quite a few eggies for Christmas. :)

Flowers I'm hoping to grow.
Rudbeckia,
Nasturtiums,
pot marigolds,
aquilegia,
forget me nots,
Possibly some dahlias.

If space allows I'll be adding much more but its only a little garden so I'll probably struggle to fit it all in.

That time of year again.

Its that time of year again. cold, wet weather, very little day light. Depression at the wet horrible state of the garden. So I spend my time looking at gardening videos, photographs, seed packets and trying to talk the puppy out of pulling down the Christmas tree, just to have the cat pull the angel off the top of the tree when I'm detracted with the puppy.

Edit: Plus, I found out this morning that my chickens are still laying eggs but the little shits  dickens's have been eating them.

Warm rice with parsnip and squash.

I must find a better subject  matter than chicken treats.

Yet more chicken porridge.

We should be getting new chickens any day now, to keep our old girls company. Ignore the teabags. :P

Today.

Well, that's the dogs taken on their insane 2 and a half hour walk. Trouble was quite good. She sniffed her first horse and met a lot of new dogs. Unfortunately she got overly friendly with their owners and coated them in muddy foot prints. Sorry dog owners. :S At least she's started coming back when I call her now. Niche was really struggling, I don't normally walk her that far any more, but I couldn't bring myself to walk them separately today.
I've cleaned out both chicken coops. Quite a feat as I had to move their straw and wood shavings from the house to the bottom of the garden they are very heavy. I cleaned out their waterers (yes I do it most days and check them every day) checked their feed and hand picked the bedding out of it as they do seem to like burying their food.
I've done some washing, applied for a new job, fed the cat twice, the puppy once, washed the pots and put some home-made pie filling in the slow cooker (national pie day). I'm having a cup of tea, and then hopefully I'll hoover downstairs. Then I'm going to play video games!!!
