Day 2 of 5 day weekend :)
This is the green manure 4 weeks later, growing nicely, although a little patchy so I have thrown some more seed in to thicken it up a bit.
This was after I had prepared the ground removing rubbish, weeds, raking trying to make it easier this time to start digging. Last time I started digging with the weeds still in the ground and it was very hard. This photo really doesn't show you the huge holes in the ground. It actually looks reasonably level but it's far from it!
Leaf litter I raked up, it looked too good to throw out, so even though it does have a little cushion fluff through it, I am going to put it in my compost bin. Actually I am going to build my compost bin around this pile...
Rubbish collected from moonscape since the first day I stepped into the moonscape with much trepidation and my pants tucked into my socks...

First day of 5 day weekend :)
Two new additions to the family - Isa Browns at about 12 weeks, another 10 weeks before they start laying. They were cute so I bought the little ones... I tore up newspaper to make it comfy on their feet, as I didn't have anything else. Also need to buy something for their food and water. I know nothing about chooks, but about to learn... I spent easily 30 + minutes in watching and interacting with them. I would like them to be friendly. Can already see their personalities coming through.
The fodder shop lady suggested a bag over the shed to make them warm, as it's so cold at the moment and they are still little, so I found this old blanket, which should help.
Not sure if Neddie wants to eat them for dinner or to play, but he has taken quite a liking to them. Every time we head outside he rushes over to the fowl shed. I'm not sure how to introduce him and the chooks to each other. It would be good to find out if he is going to eat them or protect them.
