Sausages And Stuff

Still on the subject of pork, I got the pork trimmings all minced up the other day, the minced pork was mixed with seasonings. Left to rest for 24hrs for the flavours to mingle

Then the sausages were made, 3kg of pork and leek, 3kg of a spicy pork, the sausages are now resting before going in the freezer tomorrow.

Yesterday Martin was working on the roof of the new goat house

 Next week end he will get the concrete floor in.

Now the chickens are back out again free ranging, I had to get a barrier up to keep them out of the veg garden.

 They may be good at pest control but they can be so destructive with there scratching around.

I was planting more of the cherry trees as well

 Some of them are now coming into leaf, I have 60 in the ground anther 40 to go.

News on the Doves, eggs have hatched 

I haven't seen the young yet, but know at least one has hatched 

I found an egg shell on the ground below the dovecot

there is the tell tail vein marks inside the shell, mummy dove is still sitting tight, I hope in a few days to get a chance to see the babies.

More seeds have been sown, peas in the ground in the poly tunnel and some celery seeds in trays. 

In the next day or so I want to get the potatoes planted in the poly tunnel.
