I can't believe that nine days ago I said there were few weeds in the vege garden, a lot can change in a week! The big centre bed is completely covered, I should take a soil temperature reading, whatever it is it's idea for germination of heaps of our worst annual weeds. I'll rotary hoe this bed in the next week or so, I want to begin the main spring crops on the northern end and plant the southern half with mangelwurzels to see how they go as pig food.
Charlie the horse is looking so much better after the pour on, we're going to have to watch for lice over the winter months every year, easy to fix on the broken horses not so easy on the brood mares and Charlie. Put in two more strawberry beds yesterday and heeled in a hundred or so to be moved into the vineyard when we have it ready. The berries are looking amazing, should get a decent harvest in early summer. Seedlings in the poly house are doing well, mice are still a problem though, Mike set a heap of traps yesterday. All the winter planted vegies are doing well, should start picking lettuces again in a fortnight, the spinach, carrots and peas won't be far behind. PZ.
