Spring is in the Air at Honeybus
Hallo,
The birds are a- chit- chattering away in the hedgerows surrounding the bakery & our old farm buildings.We’ve seen some nest site ‘recce’ activity going on on nest box cam www.honeybuns.c.uk/joaneycam. A couple of sparrows have been in there checking it out for size. Again this year we’ve seen lots of goldfinches feeding on the set aside strips where we let nature run riot. The thistle heads provide tasty snacks for these lovely little birds.
There’s a feeling of Spring just around the corner now. We reckon that there might be still a few icy blasts to come but the thaw is not far away now.
Nick has been busy creating our long awaited raised veggie beds in the Bee Shack garden. He has recycled the old railway sleepers that used to form the walls of the silage lamp here on the farm. Waste not want not. The team are then able to have a veggie patch/mini allotment or there is a kitty- if you don’t fancy the gardening but do rather fancy the fresh courgettes, salads, beetroots etc then a donation to the kitty secures a weekly selection of veggies.
Much as I’d like to get my hands in soil I think I’ll have to go for the kitty option. Time seems a bit scarcer than normal at the moment. We’ve been much busier than is usual for the time of year & we also have quite a lot of plans to implement with regard to the online shop & prettification of the site plus all our BeeGreen things. I try not to fall back into the panic pit & instead just keep calmly wading through the to do list 7 picking off all the mega urgent things first.
We’re getting our feedback on the little savoury tarts this Friday & hopefully we’ll soon be able to get these onto the website mail order shop. We just need to figure out how best they can be kept chilled in transit.We rather liked the idea of Honeybuns branded mini coolbags-
So much to do- must keep calm & carry on.
