Frank & Kastaniegaarden

The old caravan needs a new home, which gives Frank new opportunities and a much better view from Kastaniegaarden. The beets need to be harvested before the frost, but the yield is unfortunately meager - on the other hand, the sweet potatoes are enormous.

Frank has lost his favorite anorak and after testing new canvas fabric, the Singer sewing machine goes to work making a new one. During the annual cleaning of the cobblestones, a strange groove appears and Frank cannot figure out what it has been used for.

To keep the rats away from the chicken coop, it needs to be lifted onto a point foundation, which requires the use of a jack and shovel. Frank will try to make a fence using English traditions and then he will go to Holland to get inspiration for improving the upcoming reed harvest.

The stork visits Kastaniegaarden every year, but it quickly flies away, so Frank starts renovating the stork's nest in the hope that the stork will stay a little longer. Last year's harvest of Bramley apples is being turned into apple porridge, and the manure heaps are being dug out to prepare for new horse manure

Frank is spring cleaning the cobblestone pavement and the peach tree in the greenhouse, which has never been successful, will be replaced with a nectarine tree. And another sure sign of spring at Kastaniegaarden - a Dalmatian lamb has been born.

It is sowing time, and at Kastaniegaarden, the horse Solveig is harnessed to the harrow and seed drill. In the greenhouse, spring is in full swing, and Frank is trying his hand at plum blossom grafting.
