3rd December, 2023

Just enough rain to make all the grass slippery and rule out tractoring, and wet the washing, without really wetting the soil. Hmmm. 

As at the end of November the annual average is 910mm and the actual total is 823mm. That's 90% of the annual year to date average, but most of it fell in winter and a surplus at the end of winter turned into a deficit by the end of spring.

I planted the two tomato plants and topped up snail bait on all the veges and the hops and passionfruit. The small trees I planted are thriving at least.

I gave all the nest boxes and perches a spray of avitrol and did the broody hen again, tomorrow she can go into the broody pen and not spread lice into the main coop.

The four calves are getting onto the milk feeder nicely, and are eating the muesli and pellets well. I think little Star is starting to fill out again.
