At this stage we are de-sensitising and she is practicing being a calm relaxed dog around the stock, and its going really well!
The calves are pretty keen to come up and check her out and she isn't afraid to take back her space when they get too pushy.
The grass is still growing like crazy as we have another 15ml of rain. It has been such a wet summer!
In the garden we have started harvesting our tomatos. I actually didn't think we would get any home grown tommys this years as our plants have really struggled, losing almost all the lower leaves, they look terrible, but are fruiting so its all good!
Our pumpkins are getting a little mildewy so I want to try spraying them with a baking soda solution as suggested by my brother. He had a lot of success using this method on his courgettes, so I'm looking forward to trying it out in our garden.
On the veggie from we've also planted out more seedlings - Broccoli, Brussel Sprout, Cabbage, Cauliflower and Leek. My seedlings are tiny, but so far are doing well. We really need to build ourselves a wee seedling raising box...... But only after the chicken house is finished!
