Hens and gardens are not a good mix, in fact, having one gives a cast-iron, 100% absolute excuse not to have the other. So you can imagine how keen I am to get the tunnels covered and get back to gardening. But at least I have the greenhouse. You know, the one where the glass keeps falling out and I replace it with sheets of sterling board (which just doesn't work like glass). The one with panes of glass propped up with some lengths of wood. We fixed those panes last time it wasn't windy. We used 4 kilograms of brown putty (which had only slightly gone off), because the sticky silicon we used originally didn't stick. I refused to use putty because it doesn't work. I don't mean it doesn't work for glaziers, but for beginners it is very temperamental. It won't stick to the frame, especially at the top where you want it to completely defy the law of gravity. It smears itself all over the glass, you spend ages smoothing it down to give a waterproof chamfer between the glass and the frame, and then the whole lot unrolls. Not this putty. It must have skived off the lessons given to all putty in 'How to annoy DIYers'. It went on beautifully and we had exactly the right amount, AND we had to discard some very hard bits that refused to soften. So job done. Exit some satisfied 'professional' glaziers.
The next day the wind blew. I went to check. The small sheet of perspex had fallen out. Putty doesn't stick perspex. Oh well. It was too windy (cold (I wimped out)) so I left it for a few days. Today was lovely. I potted up lots of garlic and got the silicon gun. Putting one very small sheet of perspex in was only going to take five minutes. And it did. Scrape off the still-soft putty, dry the perspex, squeeze the sticky silicon gun, get covered in sticky stuff, stick perspex in and finished. Even the sticky gun didn't run out. I glanced down at the rest of the frame to admire the smooth putty chamfers and..... Gone!
Pecked away!
How high can a hen jump? I tell you, half way up the second sheet of glass! Actually the cocks reach higher than the hens, which is a difference that makes no difference.
Putty of course, is made from linseed oil. Linseeds are one of those super foods high in omega 3s and stuff. So I suppose putty is more edible than I thought. (Brackets: linoleum is also made from linseeds. And it is very important to never put linseed oil on to furniture with a cloth and leave it screwed up as it will spontaneously combust. Don't I know some rubbish?) So now, at some point in the future when we have bought glass and kilograms of putty, I am going to have to put up a hen-proof fence around the greenhouse, when half the point of the greenhouse is that it protects the plants from the hens!
