☺️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.

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.

The HOLE with no bottom - The bottomless pit.

I discovered this hole in my back yard a few months ago. After a while, I decided to test the depthness just out of curiousity. I took the water hose and poured water into the the hole for about five minutes, and the hole never filled. I looked around nearby for a possible exit, but never found one. Therefore, my only conclusion is that the hole is extremely deep. I wonder whether it was dug by a chipmunk or what type wiseguy creature!!

I'm baffled. My grandson, also, tried filling the hole. No luck.  Therefore, it has been deemed "the hole with no bottom".
