Recently moved to a #smallholding in #westwales where we look to #growyourown raise some livestock and live in a #sustainable way. Also into #renewables and #electricvehicles πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ
Probably a bit early for clearance and trimming, but with so much to do we have to do the jobs when we get a chance
Had a productive day on the smallholding today. All three pairs of hands put to work clearing some of the overgrowth round the pond and trimming apple trees ready for spring #smallholding #spring #Cymru
What's better than a lunch break spent in the stables with the chickens. Hopefully a weirdo crouched on the ground trying to imitate their calls was a good bit of enrichment now they're in #flockdown #avianflu #chickens #smallholsong #cymru
We had a truly beautiful #sunrise over the #smallholding today. It was a glorious way to start the day https://www.instagram.com/p/CljUQ93Ncya/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

While we were clearing some boxes out of the stables today, we came across this beauty. The "Picture This" app says it's a black lace weaver spider if anyone with any knowledge can confirm #spider #nature #smallholding
Lots to do on the smallholding today. We're learning it's best to focus on one thing at a time, but that's easier said than done when there's so much to do!
@Beedazzled I notice you're a beekeeper, we'll be looking for some bees (and maybe some advice) if that's the kind of thing you offer
Welp time to get midsommared
Current mid November grow house. This is one of our newest growhouse purchased last winter, with a poly tunnel type shape but cladded with panels of polycarbonate panels. The plants inside are a mixture of remaining tomatoe pants with ripened tomatoes, and a mixture of flowering perennials and tender shrubs, taking some refuge over winter when temperatures will be at their lowest. It’s a wonderful space to spend time in πŸ˜ƒπŸ…πŸŒΈπŸπŸŒΏπŸŒΎπŸ…πŸ„ #GardeningMastodon #Gardening #Tomatoes #TomatoWatch2022 #Flowers
Well a wild hail-filled thunderstorm has put a temporary pause to work today so the only thing for it is a trip to the hardware store to shop for some supplies, and maybe a coffee and cake! #weather #smallholding
