Not much to report at the moment. The weather is very unpredictable with it being about 18 degrees one moment and the following day only about 12 or less. Apparently we are expecting more snow on the mountains and I have reports from Puerto Alcudia of snow falling yesterday! yikes. The sun is out here in Sa Pobla for the moment, but there is quite a lot of cloud about.
No new planting as yet, perhaps in another week. We had our first cauliflower yesterday for lunch - delicious although it was a bit small.
The hens are still laying, which is great and I am supplementing their feed with blended veggie cut offs, stale Weetabix and a few oats, they seem to love it mixed up with their corn.
I'm happy to report that the rice husks are proving a godsend on the ground and so far neither the hens or us have any problems with the dust from it.
There are many spring flowers out on the island now and it is very beautiful. Almond blossoms, large headed daisies in whites and yellows and the poppies are out now also - lovely.

Our first cauliflower this year. Small but perfect - yummy.
