We finished the frame for the Sweet Peas and runner beans - also managed to dig a trench to 2 trailer loads of cow p** to give the beans a good start.

It is 8 metres long and the netting is 1.5metres high to allow it to grow up to about 2 metres.

The trench for the beans is on the right hand side and saves on crop rotation.

Due to the arrival of Avian Flu in Europe even the French are bringing their chicken under cover. As Corrie & Ron are in Morocco their friends have moved the chicken into our barn to keep them legal - threats of 750 euros fines - threatened!

We had to put mesh up at the windows and also make wooden frames - all planned but a sudden flurry of activity.

The cockerel with some of his girl friends....

Could not be bothered with nesting boxes decided within minutes to do her own thing!

Nesting boxes and easy access ladder!
