When work begins on our path the builders are going to start at the top by the chicken run and work their way down to the front drive.
The bricks from my chicken strip will need to be removed and the path may be a bit wider here. The chard was looking really shabby as I have picked it death but the dandelions are so robust that they stay good however much they are picked.
I decided to pull up all the chard and give it to the girls and replant the front dandelions to create a single row leaving plenty of space for the builders to work.
The chard looks pretty sad
The chicken’s strip is now just a single row of healthy dandelions
Barley and Butterscotch are first to the chard
Speckles and Emerald join them
They are joined by Toffee
Peaches and Barley are enjoying the chard
An hour later there were only the roots left.
Elsewhere we have pinned back the planting
More plants tied back
We expect to have some damage to the plants but they will soon recover, however if we can save some of the planting it’s worth a try. We can’t wait to get this done now. Work will be starting very soon.

Let us hope the weather keeps fine for you, at the moment it is pouring here.
So far it has stayed dry and we are keeping our fingers crossed. It was supposed to rain early this morning and did so for about ten minutes at 4.00am. I am hoping that was it for today but we shall see.
