Planting Daffodil Bulbs
Tammy’s method for planting ‘lots of’ Daffodil bulbs:
Post and Rail Fence
It is really exciting to report that the fence that divides up the land between us and the barn in front of the house has started to go up! It will be a combination of fence panels and post and rail fencing.
I am sure it will really change the ‘feel’ of the outside space, as for the first time we will get a chance to see what it will look like with the boundaries clearly defined and marked out. This then unlocks the next stage of work in terms of erecting a couple of sheds to help with storage, and also start some hedge row planting to act as wind breaks, screening and will be great for the wildlife.
Since we have owned The Farm, one side of our land has a disused drainage ditch (a new one now runs behind it) and the ditch is not only deep in place, but has piles of rubbish hidden in forests of weeds and stinging nettles. Ironically, it is in this area that we are planning to have our vegetable patch, fruit cage and chicken run!
How cool is this bright purple Picea omorika (Serbian Spruce) cone!
It is hard to tell how small these little cones really are, but the next picture with Tammy standing next to the tree will hopefully give you some idea.
Just a quick post to say Waterloo Farm is truly a family affair! We had a bit of a push on the outside this weekend due to the glorious weather. The grass needed cutting (again!), we wanted to sort out the stable and generally tidy up. We had some very generous offers of help from the family and we took full advantage of them …
So we just want to say …
