Since we took over 53 we have had a tarpaulin over an area of the ground and this is where we have stored our wood and wire, but this weekend I decided it was time to see what was going on underneath. All the weeds and grass had disappeared and there was lovely dry soil which dug beautifully. This is going to be a potatoe bed.
What I didn't realise was that as I was digging I was bringing the worms to the surface. It was like kids in a sweet shop for the ducks and the robin. All dived in and anything that moved was eaten. They don't seem to understand that worms are beneficial to the ground, all they know is how tasty they are.
Florence and the robin come face to face for a showdown over a particularly juicy worm.
