How nice to have company when one is digging!
ReplyDeleteOld Stanley is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to clean your finger nails when done diggin'
What a lovely, homey thing to be doing..out digging in the garden with the chickens trotting about your feet.
ReplyDeleteSaturday is my first digging day at the field. My back hurts already at the thought of it!
ReplyDeleteGood work; you've got it looking ready for planting!
It's looking good, already. I can only imagine what wonderful things will come out of your hard work.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the choir clip. I just love an all male choir. Is this a large one?
Enjoy the weekend.
love your critters!
ReplyDeleteBlue skies and sunshine at last. And it can only mean one thing - hard work!
ReplyDeleteSNAP. I let my hens do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteAren't the chickens loving this little bit of sun - and how they love the opportunity to gather a few worms. Good luck with the digging - don't overdo it or the back will suffer.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely way to spend the day. When I let our rescue hens have a go at the worms they act as though I am trying to poison them - and yet they free range in the wood and eat all manner of other things.
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I was playing out in the dirt ! Still a foot of snow on my garden with more to come tonight or tomorrow. I best make haste on finishing all my decluttering inside jobs I suppose before gardening time rolls around here again on the Bruce Peninsula. What's going in your Garden, John?
ReplyDelete"Just Me" way over here in Canada
Truly a pleasant rural scene.
ReplyDeletePlease, will someone take our snow away.I want to be outside basking in the sun like Stanley.

Hey George, "Respect"!
ReplyDeletegeese scare me!
You need some working animals John.
ReplyDeleteAn afternoon of digging for me too!
ReplyDeleteI did some digging as well, although it was clearing paths, as we had a foot (~30.5 cm) of snow.

As the saying goes: The early bird catches the worm. But it's the early worm that get's caught! Good day to be a chicken, bad day to be a worm.
ReplyDeleteDigging done back in November, thank goodness, so it'll just need knocking about a bit I hope. Put a row of shallots in the other day and couldn't believe how soft and friable the soil was. Your chooks would have loved it!
ReplyDeleteOur soil is saturated with water just now, but really looking forward to getting the garden in. We bought some onion starts, seed potatoes and peas last weekend and I'm anxious to get them in the ground.
ReplyDeleteFun to have the chickens in the garden "helping".

ReplyDeleteI've given up on digging garden plots and now have my shade house in operation - put in my first batch of potted Bok Choy in last month - and have my potted herbs (culinary herbs, JohnG) started and already cropping for daily use. Next season I'll have potted tomatoes in there. Things like pumpkins still sprawl across the yard. I'm considering a small, relocatable chicken coop and two or three Isa Brown laying hens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISA_Brown) - be interesting to see how Denny adapts to those. Have had my strawberries in tiered pots for several seasons now.
ReplyDeleteNo excuses with weather like this. :-)
ReplyDeleteJust finished planting another orchard myself and my bloody back is killing! How's yours?
Glad to see everyone was overseeing your work, John. ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
It's really looking like spring there!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely company to have while the vegie garden takes shape.
ReplyDeleteThe ground is frozen like a rock and covered with snow here.
