Seeds,eggs and stuff!

Well today was full of exitement as my hens laid their first eggs! ommellettes all round. I finally got our new hen house delivered and its like the taj mahal compared to the slap happy house they first had, hense the eggs of course!

Then it was seed planting and possum proofing the sweet peas! I lost my young seedlings to the possums, i cant say i blame them as its winter and theres little food around for them and my peas were looking good!
The leftovers! There must be a happy fat possum around here!
I took apart my old chicken coope which has freed up some materials for the garden such as bird netting and stakes, so i set to work possum proofing the beans and sweet peas and snow peas.
Caged off area for delicate seedlings
I then set to work leveling the site for the glass house, which proved harder than first thought with solid clay soil, riddled with concrete and old glass bottles
