Today Danny and Bam Bam will be cutting the planks for our beds. At the moment they are effectively tree trunks that have been sitting around seasoning for a few years. I'll photograph the process later. Better get some more of those acorns planted. Today I'm planting some more things going through the seeds at the moment. I'll probably also plant my tobacco. (I'm addicted to the demon nicotine) I have Havana and Virginia varieties of nicotiana tabacum http://www.pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Nicotiana+tabacum and I also have nicotiana rustica http://www.pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Nicotiana+rustica which is the shamanic tobacco and his an extremely high nicotine content. They all should go in around now. Last years crop is still curing in the kitchen bender we used to call the mead hall. It'll be left there till the autumn the whole plants hanging upside down. I'll shred it just before use.The weather today is overcast and it's about 6C with a low of 3C later.
The bird feeding station is getting busy with coal tits, blue tits and the robin who lives here who picks up what the others drop on the ground. He spent most of the coldest bits of the winter so far in here with us of his own volition eating Star's dog food.
Back later today with some photos of the planking.
