Lee Drennen’s Hobby Farm & Garden

[Jim R]

Hi Lee
A lot has been made of the old tractors still working on the crofts on the Outer Hebrides. This book has some great photos. You can turn the pages by clicking and dragging on the bottom right corner.

Gerry. I’ll get you a pic when it’s starts growing here.

Jim. Thanks for the reference I see there’s a lot of Ferguson and Masseys over there nice

Lee - never heard of 'Poke' - might know it under a different name though -

Is that the stuff some bloke called Presley sang about - "Polk Salad Annie"?

I'm not sure if we have it over here.

Pete. I really don’t know but you can make a Salad out of it.

Cleaned out the Chicken Coop and spread the Manure on the garden. I’ll let this sit for a couple weeks before turning it over several times with some compost mixed in.

This Afternoon I move some baby chicks to the Little Barn and put a door on it. It hasn’t had a door for over 10 years. I’m feeling so good about getting my Hobby Farm back the way I used to have it.

Thanks to all of you who comment and give likes. More updates next week.

Take it that the door is high enough to keep 'critters' out or have you got mesh at the top?

[Lee Drennen]

Gerry. I’ve never had any problems with any yet

This evening after work I finally got rid of a menace that’s been shading my garden for over two years. I feel better about this year’s garden already

Hi Lee, I have one of those as well......and its days are numbered. Rick H.

[Lee Drennen]

Rick. Just do it. I was going to do this Saturday but I was re-winterizing.

Now it becomes really useful - nice little bit of firewood :thumb2:

[Tim Marlow]

You’re going to have to explain “re-winterising” to us old Anglos Lee?

[Lee Drennen]

Gerry. Yes that Hickory will burn good next year

Tim. I guess what I meant was I had things ready for Spring now I had to stuff prepared for the cold weather we’re going to have the next couple weeks.
