Since I last updated the blog Mr M has been busy finishing up the kitchen storage, he firstly built a few more shelves.. (I made the valance!)
Then he cracked on with the drawers, not a nail in sight, all lovely dovetailed joints! He is planning to build the kitchen in our house "proper" so this is all good practice!
He does have a special dovetailing magic machine...
Fit the drawer runners - and voila! you have drawers....
He is currently in the middle of kitchen cupboard doors, they are all made, they will all be fitted this week and as soon as the weather co-operates and the wind drops he can get them painted! we are going for a sleek shiny finish and so he wants to use his spray gun - hence waiting for a non-windy day!
A pile of doors...
Some hinges.....
Nicely routed edges...
And voila... we have some doors....
And finally Mr M has built a house, a whole house in just 2 weeks - setting himself a bit of a precedent!
First you frame it....
Then you clad it, in cedar no less...
Make sure there is a back door, and a front door...
Add the roof and make sure there is plenty of ventilation...
And voila.... duck house.....
The babies are growing fast and are now outside full time! they still have their heat lamp on at night but during the day it is all dabble, dabble, quack and quack!
Finally the garden is coming along a treat, it is pretty much all planted up now, I still have 1 bed left that will have runner beans, I will be planting them up in the next week or so!
But for now we are enjoying some glorious weather and I am just sitting back and waiting for something amazing to happen!
Beets, turnips and parsnips (you can't see them but they are up and at 'em!)...
Yellow corgettes (zuchinni) and 4 tomato plants, they all just got planted this weekend...
Green corgettes and a row of nasturtiums, growing like weeds....
Peas, lots of peas, peas on the left and peas on the right just poking there heads up....
Potato bins are going well, they all have a lot of growing going on in them..
Nasturtiums.... lots and lots, am hoping for something spectacular here..
Garlic and strawberries are looking good, just a few more months and my garlic will be ready to harvest, the plants have very thick stalks so I hope they are working on their bulbs now!
Inside the greenhouse my tomatoes are shooting up, I am hoping they don't get too leggy....
Cucumbers, they grow almost as fast as ducks!
Finally the pole dancing gnomes have been doing a fantastic job keeping us supplied with salad greens! chickens will be getting these soon as they are starting to bolt and I have another 2 bowls stage right, just waiting for their gnomes!
So that is the vegetable garden, next time around I will show you what else I have been working on!
But for now, it is good night from him and good night from me!!
