The partner has decided we have to move the tool shed again. Shifting it by hand from one end of the yard to the other on posts was hard enough - shifting it over a tree stump is going to be almost impossible!
But it is the only way we'll get the chook shed in, so it's the only way.
On the upside, the patio and the covered walkway are done at last. And we only missed one hole with the bitumen. The rain soon found that yesterday.
Wonder how long I can put off shifting this shed?

So, now the partner in crime is seriously interested in getting chickens. We have the area planned out, all we need now is the cage and the slabs to pave the bottom, although considering the trouble we've had with all the other slabs, I'm tempted to just lay concrete. It would certainly be easier less fuss than spending a day doing it the hard way.
And then there's getting the chickens themselves, not an easy thing to do. Might even suss out the local RSPCA for them, they occasionally have livestock. Otherwise it's trying to find a poultry supplier, which is not easy out here.
Oh well, should be fun anyway.

Harvest time!
So, yesterday the peas and beans came out at last.
We managed a decent crop of peas this year, much to the partner in crimes surprise (and mine). The broad beans, however, were a major failure. About 50 beans in total after peeling. Very much not worth the effort.
However, it does leave the plot free for the tomatoes in a few weeks, and hopefully they'll manage a better crop.
