I Get By With a Little Help From My Hens


I cleared out a space for a new vegetable bed this morning--just enough room for some potatoes (Scott's request) and some cabbages anad kale. The chickens are very interested in anything involving newly-turned dirt, although they do have what I assume is a well-ingrained instinctual fear of farm implements, which keeps them well away from my hoe. Anyway, with their help I got the area cleared, fertilized, and planted. For more on the chickens, visit Humboldt Hens.
