Gardening

I have just spent a couple of hours in my garden, the temperature was just right. The soil is still nice and damp from the rain we have had and the veges especially the wild rocket, warrigal greens and tomatoes are growing like mad. In fact the greens had taken over nearly the whole of one garden. The chooks will love it as I have cut them back and there is now a lovely mound of fresh greens for them to pig out on, or so I thought! I have let them out and they have turned their noses, beaks what ever up and standing at the door as if to say is that all you can offer.Mmm they have acres to free range and they hang out by the back door. Every time I get up to have a cuppa and go to the fridge to get the milk they come running, stand there and cluck. Often have to chase the wee bugga's out as they seem to think this is their house. Pulled some baby parsnips out and will have them tonight.
