I just "play" at gardening and some folk manage to get great gardens, but it's all down to location I think, and lots of protection from the wind!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-43986418955977228362014-05-11T22:13:41.568+01:002014-05-11T22:13:41.568+01:00Thanks Bonnie.

It really got my sister down when she tried to garden in Orkney without walls for at least some protection. As for your hens, I could watch hens all day - such fun and such characters. :-)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-92095078758824987242014-05-07T17:10:09.066+01:002014-05-07T17:10:09.066+01:00Looking great!
