Dixie Chicks

Looks like everyone is getting the gardens going , been working at my two , the largest was empty last year so grass etc grew , had a bit of work getting it ready .....but



But work at it and it pays off


The soil here is awesome , the other garden has rocks , which I have all dug out and formed a fence of sorts around it , soil is great , plus being close to the coops it gets the manure as well as the clippins and leaf litter in the fall , compost pile is there as well ...mostly the fresh eating veggies are grown





This is the first tilling on the smaller garden , I will or have tilled it five times so now the straw etc has been broken up and is well mixed to the point that you can't see hardly any of it . I normally till five to six times in each garden , till , wait for any growth , till again , repeat untill any weeds etc are all gone .....saves a lot of weeding in the coming months

lotsa hard work getting ready to pay off for you awesome share thanks

They're ok... still think I'd rather have Svart Honas though, lol...

Little flighty, but might be that teen phase... the known cockerel so far screams like a girl when you pick him up... and the top pullet is a bad@$$...
