Just Call Me Lilly von Schtupp

I've been with hundreds of plants, stepped in the ants
They all need some dirt
They're always rooting and seeding
Seeding and rooting
I dig til I hurt.

I'm so tired.

Rowed, tilled, seeded and transplanted my little heart out today.  And it was SO HOT.  85 degrees in the shade.  I couldn't get enough water down.

BUT, I got my dill, chives and parsley transplanted.  I planted my chioggia and merlin beet seeds, transplanted one tree and filled in a hole in the yard that the chickens decided to spontaneously dig.  I limed and fertilized more of the garden and watered all of the new stuff in.  The chickens just watched and took dirt baths under my seeding bench.

Holy Hole, Batman

I put my shoe beside the hole to give an idea of the size.  It was about 8 inches deep, and right in the middle of the yard.  So random.  But perfect chicken size so I guess they were taking baths in it.  Anyway, I filled it in.

I don't think I can make walkies today, which will really piss the dogs off, but I don't care.  I'm climbing into the tub for a nice loooooong soak.

Out just in time to shut the chickens up.  They are getting feisty, spring I guess, and I have to herd them into the pen.  I'll shut them in the coop at dusk.  I'm done!

Til tomorrow.
