We have had the joy of watching one of the chickens who had become broody, sit on 12 assorted eggs and successfully hatch 7 new chicks! It has been wonderful to see how protective she is, scooting all the chicks under her if anything alarming approaches, and to hear the cheep and cluck to each other.
Sue holding one of the other Green Patch chickens
we found newts in the pond
(they are now back in their home)
the Zinnias
and sunflowers
have been glorious!
These tomatoes were on their way to becoming soup
to go with these delicious cheese and herb scones.
The blackberries have been
plump and delicious
especially when combined with
the Green Patch apples
bubbling in a pan and on their way to
becoming blackberry and apple crumble.
Everyone had a crumble to take home - yum!
