Weavepoles and more Compost.

Lucy

Another beautiful day for gardening. The sun is shining, the skies are blue, a light breeze is blowing. I spent another 2 hours fetching loads of poorly rotted and still partially frozen cow manure mixed with straw from the piles behind the the horse pasture to my planting boxes. Here they will rot down properly and the most amazing veggies will grow in the boxes! Monday I think I'll buy seeds and start planting. 

Lucy spent the time tied to the tree, but had to ride the wheelbarrow to get there. She doesn't like it but it's a good exercise. She jumped in voluntarily (on command) and stayed inside though she didn't accept cookies. She has become such a good girl!

We did a little weavepole training this morning too. At the club's training sessions we've only trained with 6 poles lately so I wanted to see how she'd do with 12 poles before the trial on wednesday. She did just great - running enthusiastically through all 12 poles several times in a row. Now we have to work on entries...
