Not much of a diary entry this week, ending Sunday 16^th February. More of a spacer, than a real entry. We had a wonderful week in Gran Canaria, came home then I suffered a bout of norovirus. Unpleasant.

Dan did some outside work – cleared half a comfrey bed, finishes splitting and replanting rhubarb in the fruit garden and vegetable garden (and we have a lot left), replanted some rogue strawberry plants.

New plants in the fruit garden..

With most of the spare bottles away, we were able to get the byre tidied up, ready for Hub sign painting. And work started on this year’s comfrey crop. Oh, and I sorted out some seeds, for sowing this week. Note to self: need to get Cosmos and candytuft seeds.
