Soggy Garden . . .

I should have known that if there were clouds like this on the way home, the garden wasn't going to have escaped.

And right enough, the back garden was totally swamped.

This is the area that we are due to cordon off as a second part of the chicken run. I am really becoming quite down-heartened about the lack of real gardening I can get on with, now the chickens have a total free-reign over the place. I have plenty of seeds for vegetables, sweet pea, even pea plants that I bought at the Farmers' Market the other week. They are all sitting in the greenhouse waiting to be planted out. There is NO point in even thinking about it while the chickens can savage anything that dares pop its head up.

Rather than turn this part in to a vegetable garden and then fight to keep the chickens OUT, we have now decided to turn this in to a run and have the rest of the garden to the HUMANS! But, that was before we realised that it is only suited for ducks.

You don't think this looks deep? Look again:
