THESE ARE MY FAVORITE GIRLS!

(In the chicken world, of course) Ivy (the boss lady), Cheeks, Bossa Nova (the more mature lady), and my favorite pet, Thorn. Great name, from my kid! (Oops, they are actually in reverse order. How do you work this stupid thing, anyway?)It fits her perfectly. I love it that they eat all the slugs I pick off the veggies! They don't seem to like the cabbage worms...who would have thought chickens could be so picky? Love them and the eggs:)

back again!

Too busy to write earlier, planting things, so now that everything is growing (some better than others) I hope to keep a diary of what I did, when I did it, where I put it, and (later, of course) how it GREW!

so here were the seedlings...a few, anyway. I guess I didn't take any other pictures...sorry, kids. I love ya anyway.

No photos!!

My digital camera takes only floppy disks (don't ask) so I need to find some more before I can get more photos...sigh. Too bad, because the garden is blooming (except for the squash, which didn't make it) and the hen house is almost finished!! Soon....bucka bucka bucka...the sound of fresh, almost free range eggs...yum!!

I planted some seed corn yesterday as on a whim I bought just one lone corn plant at the nursery last week. Hmm, pollination, anyone? Right. So, a friend gave me some seed corn - quite a lot! I only planted about 6 kernels. Knee high by the Fourth of July? Well, not quite this year. I am also waiting for some bush beans planted in situ to peek their heads up and join the party!

GAEA'S BOX OF ROCKS
