Ready for Replanting


It is always a bit daunting when the diggers start scraping off all the green ground covering and leave a scarred landscape.
After the roadworks, the O'Brien brothers set to work creating a pond. This, to help drain a good part of the field where the pigs roam. And boy, has it drained already.

There has been no rain for a few weeks. This pond has filled to this level solely from seeping groundwater.
I can see daffodils and trees replanted at the back. And who knows what else. Maybe a gunnera plant or two.
Remember the before ?



This stretch is where the soft fruit will be replanted. The posts will be part of a structure to support bird netting. The path alongside the chicken coop has been widened and the garden bench has a more solid underground.
What a difference a day makes. Especially when you have topnotch digger people.
Remember the before ?

Let's get these back into the ground ASAP !

Thank you for visiting.
