Gardening whenever I can... even in pyjamas.
Gardening for sustainability,
to eat organic produce,
a love of the outdoors,
but mostly for my children.

A hens nest
Since our second hen started laying a few days ago, she has only laid one in the nesting box... But she has made her own little nest in the garden by the back door of our house.
It seems she has enlightened the other hens to the concept of out door laying, too. Today there were four eggs in there!
Hi PG. Those eggs look pretty hopeful! Maybe you will be selling them soon and get wealthy? :-) Thanks for visiting my blog today (Looking in the Square) - Dave
Thanks Dave! I look forward to seeing more of your pics of Hamilton Gardens.
Although we gave a half dozen eggs to my Mum today, I'm not sure we'll be having enough spare to sell, not the way my kids like their eggs! We have four hens with the logic that they'll each lay probably 6 or 7 eggs a week and an egg a day is nutritionally good for us. The four of them have just started laying so we'll see how we keep up with the eggs...
