all important matters should be communicated to the chickens (and to any bees likewise)

horsemouth is back in the wild already

cold overnight, sunday and monday night - best keep the runner beans in the greenhouse a while longer.  everything has survived but not much else has come up. ok horsemouth tells a lie the broad beans are showing signs of activity (he hopes they survive). 

horsemouth has been out to feed the chickens and unleash them for the day. he told them he was back (all important matters should be communicated to the chickens and to any bees likewise). 

the next stage is to plant up the raised beds (now that there are more of them) - peas, carrots, beetroot suggests horsemouth.

so he's back from the wen (with a new cough and cold naturally).  he will reflect on some of the events from his visit as they occur to him.
