Black Currents

Gooseberries

Pears – and Quince root stock

Purple sprouting way too early

Wildling Rat Catcher is getting bigger.

White Violets

Poaching in Kites Close

Farm grass is vivid green – except KC where the horses over wintered; the orchard is at bud burst for Damsons and early pears and Opal plums; and the garden is over blown with brocoli, kale and leeks all begging to be picked and eaten.

The yearling hens are still laying like mad and we have yet to get rid of the egg mountain and the geese are busy laying – though the flock is down by three this year.

As soon as the weather lifts a little I have jobs to do… 🙂

And that feral cat is huge 🙂
