What did you do in the garden today?

I've got one of those Roo or Hen types, too...sure looks Roosterish, but acts like a Hen & does not even attempt to crow & is a super wimp. The last time I was gifted a bird like this, she was a game mix, looked very Rooster-like, but that one laid eggs. This black chicken...no eggs & no crowing...yet, anyway. I do think it's a Roo...just a late bloomer maybe? What do ya think?

She doesn't seem to have any saddle feathers so I'd say it's likely a late bloomer hen.

My task list while I wait for stuff to grow....




Fast forward a few months, I'll be wondering why I thought gardening was a relaxing, fun hobby....

No saddle feathers it is a hen.

I planted a row of chard. That led to digging up the grass that was invading the area. That led to finding some baby grubs. I had to collect the grubs for the chickens, of course.

I whacked on some other weeds with the hoe.

Does anyone recognize this? I think it's a weed...?

I did nothing in the garden today. I did have a random stranger come dig up a bunch of Black Eyed Susans & Purple Coneflowers that were taking over the walkways of the garden. It was a win win, she needed flowers, I needed someone to dig up flowers. LOL
