What is the law about wild plants. Thinking back we used to make collections of wild flowers (for a badge at GLB, which was like Guides), now illegal to pick them, never mind uproot. Can see why, though we learnt a lot from identifying the specimens To be honest I do not know. We have always seen t...

Will you be bottle feeding? No need to, they are already eating hay/lucerne/barley straw etc. along with grain and pellets, also they get their fill browsing when we walk them twice a day. We do not milk the Mum's dry so they still feed their kids during the day. It is still a learning curve for us...

Separated the kids from their Mum's tonight for the first time so we can get into the routine of milking in the morning and as the kids have not been feeding from their Mum's during the night we should get more milk. Needless to say there is a lot of noise and unhappy goats outside at present! Headp...

So, the first rows of carrots are now in, tomato plants coming on nicely in their pots along with the garlic and peas shooting up nicely outside. Picked our first rhubarb stems (and ate them, lovely). We previously grew our herbs individually in small circular beds but we have now dug out and linked...

I have mention Geo Engineering on here before and how it plays a part in affecting the weather pattern/systems. The link below (you will have to translate it via Google translate) highlights just one of the things happening in this region and Bulgaria is way behind what many Western Countries, China...

Most of the time my left hand just works the bellows. If i try to play buttons I lose the R hand keys. That I can associate with, I am still trying to master moving and using two hands at the same time. One up and down the guitar neck hoping to hit the right strings whilst the other fingerpicks at ...

Early night here after a hard day in the garden/field so put these guys on, another group of "stars" who formed a group as they just enjoyed playing music together. Unfortunately they are not all with us today but their music still lives on to be enjoyed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMVjToYOjbM&...

but it's a Stradella base so it takes a lot of thinking about Mo, I am impressed, just looked up what a Stradella base is, an impressive instrument that would be well beyond my skills to even attempt to play. I have problems with six strings and a few frets but you are playing a keyboard and a host...

is it normal to see them arrive in March? They can arrive anytime after Baba Marta Day which is the 1st March. They arrive on the coast much earlier than here as they stop at several places to feed when moving inland so yes, it is normal to see them in March. And......the good news is the male stor...

Always a sight I enjoy.....@ 200 storks were circling above our house today so Spring has definitely arrived Many nests now have storks standing in them but our nearest nest remains empty, fingers crossed they make it back safely this year.

Have you tried Vivaldi potatoes ? I will own up to having never heard of them let alone tried them! Out here you have a choice of Kaufland or Lidl potatoes (the former grow extremely well) or what most people buy "the ones in the yellow netting". Types/varieties are rare to find and scarily yike* e...

Not sure about Vivaldi spuds but I thoroughly enjoy listening to Nigel Kennedy playing Vivaldi!

Sounds like a success then, well done

What is next for you?

That's it, last of the spuds planted today, relieved that job is done as we are forecast heavy rains now for a couple of days

Today I planted four more fruit trees, two peach and two apricot to replace the ones that where killed off by flood damage then managed to get four lines of spuds in the ground (@ 120 of them), lots more to go yet.
