LAMBING'S OVER FOR ANOTHER YEAR!

I'm afraid the blog has been put aside...with lambing happening it's difficult to keep up with everything else!
We had a very successful lambing - and didn't have to help any of the ewes lamb this year.  We had 7 ewe lambs are an awful lot of ram lambs - 18 in total!  Most of them have gone down to the bank for some lovely spring grass.  We have Alice and Scarlet up at the Care Farm for a few days as we had a new group of students here.  They are from Gloucester College Foundation course, and are doing a six week course - looking at different modules of farming and horticulture.  It's called the 'CAN DO' project, and we hope it will give the students an idea of other avenues to explore when looking for work.
We are busy planting loads of seeds in the poly tunnel and outside - making the most of the nearly constant rain and little bits of sunshine!  We are growing 'plugs' for a local nursery at Miserden, and students planted 7 1/2 dozen Tomato seeds on Wednesday!  When they get to about 3 inches tall, they will go back to the nursery to be sold on to customers.  Next we will be planting courgettes, cucumbers and runner beans.
We have a boar running with Tigger and Sandy - he's been here for three weeks and i think Tigger looks pregnant already (everyone laughs at me when i say that!)
We will be at the BIG HEALTH CHECK DAY in Gloucester again this year on 22 MAY at OXTALLS TENNIS CENTRE, along with lots of other local groups and exhibitors.
