We thought of taking two thirds of the veg plot to extend the run and using what used to be the thyme lawn, but had lost it&#8217;s way and has not worked since, as an extra veg plot.<\/p>\n<p>I will take photos and explore this in another post but for today I want to conclude that Blossom is so much happier with her new flock and is looking really good.<\/p>\n<p>More about the plans for the run extension soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I visited Jackie and her flock today then bought her to mine to visit my flock.
