Some growth

Well, it's the end of May, and not a lot of growth apart from nettles. So, strim, strim and strim again.

But we do have a small amount of apple blossom. Nothing on the other trees.

Plums and Quince went straight to leaf, but they are growing. They are still barely more than sticks with foliage, but we can see how they should develop.

The winter was so hard that we are still feeding the sheep with hay, which we weren't expecting. At some point we will have to put up some kind of covering for winter feed on the land, since storing bales in the garden shed has been mightily inconvenient. 

The sheep themselves are quite unworried, and know that noises from the house mean that ewe nuts should he available soon. Other than that, we're trying to open up more of the land so that the sheep can get in and start grazing. Every time we keep them out of a paddock, so that grass can grow or strimmed material has a change to mulch down, they are impatient to get in there and find out what's happening.

But more growing should happen over the next few months.
