Have a terrible headache, sheep are shunning sopping rain, but the kitchen garden is enamoured with vibrancy.
Kitchen Garden
The traditional kitchen garden (known in Scotland as a kailyaird) is used for growing edible plants and often some medicinal plants, especially historically.

Gate
Charlie fixed the gate onto the kitchen garden today, this completes the perimeter fence.
Nurture
Upset that a pretty Japanese vase got smashed from my window sill whilst attempting to squash a huge meat fly.
Fence mesh
We completed the perimeter fence around our kitchen garden today, the rear side had been open for almost two weeks (ran out of wire).
Scarecrow
Our common rider scarecrow appears to be scarring off birds that are eating the leaves from our cabbage plants. We took so much effort to keep the wild rabbits out we forgot all about the birds!
Wired
We have risen early, commenced work on the farmhouse kitchen garden. First we dug up huge clumps of nettles, then roughly levelled the soil.
Fence posts
During the evening, at sunset, Charlie began hamming fence posts into the ground.
