Stepping stones and silly chickens

The chicken house in the middle of a lawn.. not the most practical as we churn up the lawn every time we potter over there so today I bought some stepping stones and began a new garden patch.. phew its all go! Today though the weather was nice so I put on 3 less layers and looked less foolish at least.

So this is the new patch I am playing with.. I can't get deep into the really bad bits yet s the ground it too wet I will just make it worse so this the part where the car park is and the chicken house.. like the rest all overgrown and some dead stuff.. so have today chopped down 3 trees that were dead and  have cut  back lots of things hoping that they ping back to life, buds are there so I am hopeful..

 The problem with gardening when you have chickens is that they want the worms so any digging.. (see removal of dead roots below) is impeded by the fact that silly feathered folk sit on your spade.. whilst sawing a tree today one of them hopped onto the end of the saw.. Brain dead!

 Ducks however are unlikely to get involved in such scavaging.. its simply above them so they just find a spot to observe me digging, chickens getting in the way and at afternoon tea time from their spot they quack like mad until I produce corn (who's the idiot?)

Chickens however they don't wait for corn.. they just steal the bluebird food! Bit Mean given they have lots of their own food to eat!

So tomorrow's job is to get these little babies sunk into the grass.. more digging... more worms .. more daft chickens.. ground hog!
