We have a Monkey Puzzle Tree in one of the gardens at the farm. For the first time that I can remember it is producing seed balls.

The pictures are a bit blured as I had to zoom in a bit on the phone.

3 weeks ago these little ones arrived

Then last Thursday a friend of my step daughter took a couple of photos of the individual growing piglets. 2 days later, she sent these through to us

Such a talent for a relative youngster.

 

[Cab-over Pete]

If you are a serious farmer & want to visit farming heaven on earth before you die then sell a few old cows & take the wife to Appenzell in Switzerland for the holiday of a lifetime, your life will never be the same again you will like me wish you had been born a Swiss farmer.

Depending on what one wanted from life, I've always thought the life of an Alpine Farmer to be pretty special. Tough but rewarding.

Been loving your pics, but its a bit like visiting the moors home here - beautiful in summer but takes a special kind of person to farm there in winter.

Having sown 5 acres of expensive pollen and nectar mix this year it is very nice to see the only thing that came up except weeds.

Average alpine herd of about 15 milking cows often in a fancy expensive fairly new government subsidised barn adjoining the farm house, definitely a lucky special sort of person
