Saturday and Sunday, 19th and 20th August
Saturday morning saw Rodney and I spend some time in the shed, getting some winter seeds sown in the hope to add plenty to the Winter Pantry. I'll sow more than needed and any that come good are a bonus!
I got an order from Real Seeds who I love. I'm going to sow some things direct and some in trays.
Saturday afternoon was spent running around. We had a trip to Durham Hens and talked to the chap about new stock, ideally Rhode Island Red dual purpose birds. He's going to call us on his next hatch.
Then we headed over to pick up some scaffolding boards from the chap who get them from and collected 10. This meant Steven could get on with Stores. He really amazes me at how quickly he gets these things done.
Whist he was busy doing things that he didn't need me for, I got round to plaiting and hanging the garlic. It's looking beautiful. I'm already thinking about where to plant next year's crop, which will be planted this year. I'm not sure how long the garlic here will last us, hopefully until the Wild Garlic appears in the Spring.
Checking in on Stores progress and being a pair of hands when needed, I grabbed a photo showing the first board being laid. Steven sanded them down and was a covered in dust. Thankfully he was sensible enough to wear a mask!
It's all coming together beautifully. Next up will be the shelves.
I understand your love for your hubby getting things done, mine is the same, I make a suggestion and off he goes, I have learnt to think anything through fully before saying anything, that way I get what I want rather than his version of it. You both work so hard, whilst your life is full, the rewards make each day better.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a good point - only verbalise it when you're ready haha. Thank you so much :)
