Is Dirt the New Delicacy?

The desire to "farm" seems to run in the bloodstream of most Kehoes.  And true to his lineage, it seems baby Liam has no qualms about getting his hands dirty.

Here on Gael Glen Farm we are all simply itching to get some seeds into the ground.  The soil in our raised box gardens has been hoed twice already and so it is time for red onion bulbs and spring garlic to go in.  This was very much a family affair with Mama, Papa, Liam, puppies Charlotte and Emily and three red chickens all "helping".

Papa hoed the soil, mixed in peat and fertilizer and planted.

Charlotte laid in the sun and supervised.

Emily chased the red chickens.

Liam ate dirt.

Mama yelled at Emily not to chase the chickens (repeatedly) and said "Liam, not for your mouth.  Please don't eat the dirt." at least a hundred times.

The red chickens dug up all of the bulbs about three minutes after they were planted.

And so tomorrow, we will start all over again.  Practice makes perfect.
