RE: Crazy Weather and a Little Visitor.
Those planters are so pretty! Do they have a base or open for deep roots? We are also having bizarre weather here. A couple days of jerseys and duvets followed by fans and dips in the water! Wierd. I like your sign on the apricot tree @minismallholding. Is the apricot tree enclosed? I've just posted about how our apricots have been devoured by the birds. I wish there was some way of putting all our trees under cover as we enjoy very little of the fruit
The planters are open at the bottom. I once grew a parsnip in one and the root went down past the planter bottom! I've refilled one of them twice now, putting cardboard at the bottom, but I keep getting couch grass coming through, which is frustrating. It's very persistent as that's a lot of soil to get through!
The apricot is fully enclosed in one of the chicken runs. I used to net it before they were built, but some of the birds would still sneak in! Last year rats got them all. There's always something, isn't there!
