Irish Chain Quilt Tops 

                                                       

Apprx. 51 inches x  40 inches

These are two newly completed quilt tops that I made.  

They are available for purchase on Etsy.

 

 

There is a free block per quilt top.

 

The Hens Did Good.

 Those worms that I dig, almost daily, must've really paid-off. 😂

Seven of the ladies are about eleven months old. The more mature ladies are slightly over three years old.

Quite possibly, the white egg might have been laid by the brown  leghorn chicken.

 

Just a few of my chickens - doing what chickens do.

Grazing in the Grass.

 

 

On a Saturday evening.

 

 

They are almost five months old, here.

I've Been Planting Again.

 

I'm hoping to get ALL vegetables planted this week.

☺️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.

Would a CHICKEN consider gardening?

 

 

Well, she looks as though she is curious about the shovel.

 

Guessing, she decided that bugs are more entertaining.

 

Broccoli - root failure here.

I planted several store-bought broccoli roots here. No broccoli materialized.

 

Hardy Winter vegetables.

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.
