Moo Cows!

Tonight I have been messing about with cows!

I have been de-horning calves which is not the nicest thing to do but needs to be done! I wont go into all the details.

As for the Allotment, I have planted my toms and cucumber. Put in a row of brussels that were given to me and planted a couple of rows of brussels and parsnip seed.

Sheep and a tractor

A few pics from tonights action at college. (small holding course)

The lambs which were having an injection and worming stuff given to them. (I got to do quite a few of them but there was 6 of us doing it)

The ewes had their feet trimmed and went in the dip.

For all you tractor fans this is the Massey Ferguson that dropped off some donkey crap last week.
As for lottie stuff, a lot of things had dried out today and some peas have almost come through.

Whatjamaflip thingys

I have now planted some more "stuff" feels like i am getting somewhere.

Planted a packet of celeriac in a one tray, hummmm maybe should have used more trays. lol

Planted 20 sweetcorn seeds in 9cm pots.

Put a row of peas in my guttering, ran out of compost for the other two bits :-( will plant the rest outside.

Put 4 runner beans in (lack of compost) none of the oldies were down tonight because it was raining so could not buy any more compost.

Onions are doing well, woo hoo!

Off to college tomorrow night to learn how to handle sheep baaaaaaaaaa

May the 4th be with you....

Greenhouse is up, just need to replace 3 broken panes of glass.

Got some mahoosive onions to put in and some shallots. (Thanx to Sue and Terry)

Taken toms, cucumbers, peppers and courgettes to the greenhouse.

Fitted my automatic venty thingy.

Started digging the plot over and thought sod this, paid Terry a tenner to get his rotavator out. An hour or so later of me wetting the soil and him going up and down with the rotavator, i can now plant a few more things.

Weather today about 22C, tooooo hot! More pics on way soon!
