She spends too much time there as it is.

I’m doing the no till method this year.

I’m doing the no till method this year.

I tilled most the day, the weeds were getting out of control.

The sussex pullet helped me. The rest of the birds were in bed already, when I finished I ran the tiller to the shed, when I shut it off she walked with me then dropped off into their coop.

She did spend about a half hour taking a dust bath in the fresh tilling.

What a sweet little hen! I hand pulled all the weeds then spread leaves and straw to keep the weeds from comng up until I planted. I have just a couple things to put in, beets and some more flowers pretty much. Maybe squash in the other garden. I always forget that one, it's mostly the hollyhocks and comfrey out there.

I have beans, beets, rutabaga, more cabbage and not sure what else to plant.

I need more fruit trees too.

There's always one more thing to plant...

The long Prairie Auction was kinda boring, we got there at 10 and stayed until 2, but they hadn’t even started on the critters. It was mostly junk. I made my way around the barn animals, but it seems there were a lot of late comers, it was just starting to fill up when we left, it was a long day.
