Nearly to the finish line now

I tidied up my sliver of a plot raked it over and dug in some compost to benefit the soil. Since then i have put some straw round the brussels and fleeced them to protect them from the frost. It doesn't look like i will be getting brussels for Christmas they are still really small.
I have also tided up the old apple tree for years we haven't been able to get apples off them they always were rotten. So i have pruned off all the interlocking branches to provided better air circulation, put a gum band round and when my next batch of compost is ready i will be putting that round the base to and hopefully that will help.
Back to the plot which is now all dug up and now just needs raking over, because we have put a rotovator through the soil to break it up because it was so compacted. Then i started to fork it to keep the gaps and to pick out the stones, because there is millions of stones. I got to a section and got stuck so i moved on a little bit think i might find the end of this huge stone. Forty minutes later i have uncovered what looks like  9ft of solid stone. 
I thought who would put this in here and why. So i started to dig up and make my own little exervation site and i have dug up 11 breeze blocks. Why were they in there i don't know will there be anymore who knows, my back hurts and i have had to take time off from the plot. However the lack of breeze blocks have left me with huge holes and i will now have to invest in some top soil.

Feed the Birds

I made some coconut bird feeders using some old coconuts which i drilled through. Cracking them open took a little longer that used a few more tools, a hammer chisel and saw. The insides were done with bird seeds (obviously) and melted lard which you mix together. Big tip here feed your string through first with a twig on the end so it doesn't fall out, and make sure you fill up the hole before you but in the mixture i learned this the hard way, my lard went everywhere!

I left them in the fridge over night and they turned out really well, unfortunately no birds got them because the squirrel got them and the insides fell out and the dogs got them. So bad news for birds.

I painted a piggy bank and plan to use it as an honesty pot to put out with my gluts of vegetables which i will be getting. Yes i know i am overly hopeful.

The mystery squash revealed, this is the squash i grew from and unknown plant i got at a market and actually it is lovely i am going to be bold enough and say its nicer then butternut squash,it was that good. So i have saved some seeds ready to plant next year. I still don't know the name.
