Rogue Hens Causing Trouble

Snap peas, radishes, parsnips, spinach, and Swiss chard is in the ground. The soil is warm and dry. I used Grandpa Ed’s special hoe for good luck. Put straw down between the rows to keep the weeds at bay. Hooked up the hose and watered everything. Now to watch for sprouts and hope the straw does not blow away!


Update: I was worried about the wind when I should have been worried about escapee chickens! Rogue hens scratched up the garden, pulled out all the row markers, and messed up all the neatly arranged straw rows - hopefully they didn't eat ALL the seeds too. Only time will tell. They are now barricaded into their chicken run REAL good.
