Double Garden Project Reveal For first day of April 🐥😊

So she got me out here and she's still indoors. Hello everyone, it's Jeanette here. A very special, extra special episode because it's the 1st of April which is so exciting. We're well into spring now and Richard and I have two such exciting projects which we've been planning and we're very excited we're going to reveal what we're going to do this spring. So we've got two very exciting things. The first one is as you know our garden is not very big but we have thought of a way to extend our garden. She has thought of a way. We have an extra 4 by 6 meters and it's on the roof. On the roof. On the roof. We've decided why not turn this into a vegetable garden on the roof. We think it's strong enough. Yeah. Don't we? Yes, I've done the structural calculations. Yeah, we think we can do it. Jeanette's got to lose a couple of pounds just to stabilise it. Yeah, no, what a great idea. We show this picture from above so you can see what it looks like from the aerial view and you can see we've got 4 by 6 meters that is not being utilised. 24 square meters. 24 square meters. We can grow vegetables, can't we? We can. So what we're going to do is we are going to put in a spiral staircase just along this side. So Richard if you want to explain how the spiral staircase is going to fit. Well the spiral staircase is going to fit on the side and go up to the roof. Yes. Let's come closer and we'll show you. Come with me. So Richard, the spiral staircase is going to go around here. Yeah. That's got to go. Yeah, that's got to go but that's okay because that rose isn't doing very well. Coming from here. Yeah. Starve around. Yeah. Go up to the top but then of course we've got the railings. Yes, there's going to be railings all the way around. Health and safety. And one thing that we've got to consider is we're probably not going to be able to grow really heavy vegetables such as melons. I don't think we're going to be able to grow melons. Melons are too heavy. Potatoes. Too heavy. We have to be careful with the potatoes. We could distribute the weight, can't we? And we may even, we're hoping, be able to fit a table and chairs up there as well. Yeah, but that would limit the amount of vegetables. Yes, but it is nice because we will have a lovely view. Yes. Anyway, so yeah, if you can see there, we thought what a fantastic idea. So, that is the first idea and the second idea that we've got. As you may or may not know, eggs are in short supply. They are, over here anyway. So, we're going to have a hen house. We are. We're going to get chickens everyone. We're going to have chickens. Let's show everyone where the chickens are going. Well, follow me. That's an ideal area. It's out of the way. It is, and really, I mean, we don't really need all these plants, do we? I mean, it's nice to have ornamental plants, but really, what a great space for the chicken coop. It's pouring down with rain, so we'll try and wrap this up quickly. So, we have been looking at chicken coops. There are three that we really like. There is, yes. So, we'll just put those on the screen now, so you can see the kind of idea that we're going for. Yes. And we have been, we've got our chickens already, haven't we? We have, we've been to Norfolk. We've been to Norfolk. We've hand-picked them. They are gorgeous. They're five weeks old. We've got some pictures. This one is Lester, and then these two are Dottie and Bluebell. We've got this one, he's called Gusto. No, no, no. Gertrude. Gertrude, sorry, yeah. Gertrude. Oh, yeah. We've got these three, and these three are going to be called, um, what were they called, these three? Chester. Chester, Brownie, Brownie and Fluff. That's it. Chester, Brownie and Fluff. So, they're all adorable. Oh, yes. Um, what about the dogs? Should we just mention the dogs? The dogs. See, we've got to get the dogs used to the chicken, yeah, the hen house. Yeah. So, we're going to keep them in there for a couple of months. Yeah, we thought, if we put Lottie and Lucy in with the chickens for a couple of nights, I think they'll mix well. I think they'll mix well. I think they'll be all right. As long as they're not hungry. Yeah, we'll make sure they're not hungry. That's a very good point. Yeah, it'll be a good bonding session. Yes, yes. So, we're going to do that, and, uh, so this is all being cleared, hopefully, over the next two weeks. I hope you'll come and join us for our project. We are so excited, can't wait to show you the chickens. So, I'm Jeanette, I'm the Enthusiastic Gardener. Thank you for watching. Take care, everyone. Happy 1st of April. Bye.
