We've had a couple of warm days, a brief one minute rain today, but I've started watering for the summer.
On Monday I planted out the seed potatoes, dutch cream, and cleared the weeds out of the jerusalem artichokes. They come back every year because you can never get every tuber.
I also walked Star up to where Robyn has her heifers in with the bulls. I was worried she'd jump a fence and try to come home, but she seems to have settled in well.
Today I set out the irrigation for the hops, silver birch, orchard, fig, bottlebrushes and olives. There are a few repairs needed, and tomorrow I will try and do the lines for the cider apples. The lines for the side garden and vege garden are working.
I need to find a simple design for the front yard, the trees in the centre of each square make a single sprinkler set up impossible. Pragmatically I should remove those two rhododendrons, but they are so beautiful in flower and the shade is great.
