Clean Up In Aisle 4
After the snow melts I let the chickens into the kitchen garden to do a little clean up.
5 hens remain from my original chick purchase nearly 8 years ago.
The girls egg laying days are over, but they provide insect clean up and add to my compost pile.
All very valuable to the garden.
And doesn’t chickens scratching in the yard just make you smile?
Priceless!

the human soul is apt to revive also.”

In The Garden
Let the beauty of what you love,
be what you do.

Raise Me Up
My kitchen garden is made up of 8 raised beds.
This little corner bed is my leafy greens area or lovingly referred to as “the salad bar”
This bed will be planted and picked upwards of 3 times a growing season.
Who wants a big salad?

Garden Cravings
The grocery stores have been filled with strawberries, but I really crave a bowl of fresh picked berries from my own garden!
Windy days will sometimes dislodge a birds nest from the pines.
I can’t resist taking them to the potting shed and adding them to others I have collected since moving to the little farm.
This one has some of Flame’s mane spun into base of it.
Nice of my horse to share her lovely locks.
