I can't believe I have strawberries ripening now!
The square foot bed (well, the 121 sq inch bed really) with kohlrabi, lettuce and spring cabbage.
The "hedge" of leylandii behind the pond and the start of the chickenwire to cover the gaps. I'm sure the chickens will be right over that and into the precious brassicas...
A bit more clearing done - mainly the leylandii bits that were growing through the fence and a dead tree.
Garden Cat on the chicken run. I had better fix the roof panel on securely!
The ex-potato bed, compost and ash dug in, mulched with cardboard. I'll plant the kale through the cardboard once it has been rained on and softened a bit.
Borlotti beans. Gorgeous.
The chicken coop. It's a swiss chalet mini ark from Jim Vyse. Sturdy and easy to build.
The 6ft run (minus roof panel since I want it to be hinged on one side and fixed on the other and need a trip to the hardware store to get the bitsnpieces)
Staghorn Sumac hasn't quite got its full autumn coat on, but it'll be all red in a day or two.
Aha! They're purple and yellow!
The "that'll do for now" fence behind the pond. It will keep the chickens in and I'll hide it with climbers.

Ahoy there! Is it wrong to covet a neighbours chicken coop?! 'cos i want yours! They look fab, and i bet your chickens absolutely love you. We really don't have the space for anything like that. Crap that really. Just have to make do with my new bit of lawn. Well done with the strawberries too!
