☺️It's planting time.

I love gardening.

 

I do all of my digging with my trusty shovel.

I think that I added a few more photos here that weren't in my first gardening post of this season.

The girls / chickens loves helping.  They even offer additional fertilizer while I dig.

The beets, garlic and white potato are strays that I threw in - leftover from store purchases.

The above will become fertilizer.  (I covered it after I finished digging.)

We found numerous earthworms.

 

It's  G A R D E N  Season  Again

 

 

I finally got around to picking up my hoe, shovel, rake, and began the digging.

 

The beets, a small white potato or two, and the garlic somehow survived the Winter.

 

 

 I show you "before" and "after" photos to clarify the amount of work that was done solely by me. -and within three hours, this April 16, 2019.

 

 

The girls / chickens were in earthworm heaven during the digging.

 

There were so many earthworms. I think that the girls received a month's supply this one day.

 

 

 

About halfway through Plot 1. 

 

The grass was beautiful; but, had to go.

 

Oh the smell of fresh Earth.

 

 

After "Plot 1" was completed, I threw a few cabbage, carrot and sweet potato hulls in -that will be covered and become fertilizer.

 

...and, now to planting the bare areas - and then to Plot 2.

Grass - Eating Chickens

 

 

Did you know that chickens love eating grass?

 

Two of my free - range hens paired-up for a Grass Hoot-Nanny today.

They forgot to notice that I was photographing them.

 

Not only do chickens scratch in the dirt for worms; but they enjoy the fresh greens and chlorophyll as well.

 

My Garden

August , 2018

 

 

My garden received plenty of rain; after over a week.

 

The chickens were either looking for bugs, or inspecting the new plantings.

 

Still waiting for the first eggplant to produce. Several blooms, but no produce.

 

A pickin' from the garden; and from the hen-house.

 

The banana pepper was mighty delicious for my breakfast addition.

 

 

I had quite a few blueberries this year.

Fool's GOLD or what !!! What would you do??

What would you do if you were to find a lot of GOLD in your back yard?

1. Sell it and donate ALL of the proceeds to a charity? (not hardly)

2. Secretly keep it a secret from your family? (that's a thought)

3. Share measured amounts of the gold with neighbors and family? (yeah,right -well most likely)

4. Call all of the neighbors, friends, family, and co-workers, and lay the gold out on a table, and let them do their pickings. (do I look crazy)

5. Leave the country, and secretly buy a private island, and tell your family that you have a very contagious disease? (now that's a plan)

I found these wonderful rocks in my back yard while clearing area for my garden this past summer. Just got around to photographing them recently. They have such a beautiful and realistic looking gold texture. Oh how I wish.

Tell us what you would do with your GOLD find.
