Hello, welcome to Friday 3 April 2026. Happy Good Friday!

Storm 'Dave' has landed and it's very windy here. My honeysuckle arch blew down, the cockerels are getting blown across the field and anything I put down gets whisked away.

I've spent most of today in the greenhouse sowing more hardy annuals and it went really well. I'm going to need a lot more shelves in there at this rate. I've also been sowing seed that I collected from some of my unsold flowers in 2025 and I can't wait to see how they turn out.

I recorded tonight's episode on the plot and a rat made a guest appearance as I was mid-sentence. I was planning to do a walk-around the field with you but it's too windy and the audio would have ben terrible. 

I hope you have a wonderful Easter or (if you're not celebrating it) then just a great long weekend. Please do come back and join me for the next episode - you're always very welcome.
