Sometimes my little haven for peace & quiet where I love to grow things I can share with my family & friends.

Let me introduce Peach, Ginger & Spike

I collected our new chicks on Friday from school these ones have names which the teachers and school children have given them. They have settled in well and my youngest has taken over and wants to get them out on every occasion possible. Tonight they were making a right noise so I had to close the curtains on them to go to bed. The chicks are living in the conservatory with the heating on which has given the right temp for my tomato seeds to start sprouting so i'm chuffed about that. Sowed some strawberry seeds tonight see how they go.

Peach (brown) to the left, Spike (yellow) & Ginger (brown) above Spike. They are about 2 weeks old. We aren't sure what breed they are yet. The funny thing is on the first night they all slept in their food tray.
