New for the garden

Coco, Nanny Southwellski and I had a bit of a spend up today. We wanted some plants that Coco and I could grow and some herbs for the kitchen so a trip into Brandon saw us return with a load of seed packets, including Radishes, Lettuce, Beetroot, Sweet Peas, Nasturtiums and other bits and bobs.

Tomorrow, Saturday, well its today really because I am up very late (Coco is fast asleep) is going to be a busy day outside.  Nanny Southwellski and I are going to have a tidy up in the orchard before Coco and I start preparing the beds in the garden.

You will remember we found a 'treasure', well we contacted the Norfolk finds liaison officer, Erica, who said it could be a livery badge of some sort dating back to the late 1800's to early 1900's.  A friend of our, Mark the mechanic said there were Prisoner of War camps nearby and it could be a badge from a foreign uniform so we are going to investigate that too.

We must remember to take before and after pictures of the garden today so everyone can see what we are doing.

Coco and I forgot to mention that last week we saw a small bird get hit by a car and land on the road in front of us. It was still alive when we stopped and picked it up. We put it in a box with some warm bedding and some food and water because it couldn't fly. It has been living in our potting shed and can now fly up to the stool we use to sit on but that's as far as it can go so we are feeding it lots of good food and fresh water and we think it will be able to go soon. Watch this space.
