i spent my day with a filthy, dirty ho' –
Question:
by the time i was done i had planted tons of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. it was amazing. tomorrow i will plant cabbage, and i really hope i can keep the stupid chicken (sorry chicken) from eating the stupid freeking baby plants so they can grow up :-}} shes kinda spoiled for a chicken she thinks the whole garden is ‘chicken salad’….. also i planted pole beans; and …… some herbs. im now a bee stop. the bees have me on their ‘route’. they come in aiming on the flowers and land in the pattern of square pots. there they buzz around and do their directional thing then one by one they take off and fly away somewhere. its like a bee landing strip. they get really perturbed if i move the pots today i realized they are using them to navigate by…… more dirty gossip later on. — — vaudeville performer "blessed am i to dwell in this beautiful temple"

my kind of girl…i love to get dirty
i did it again today!!! i found grubs even. i found two huge fat grubs to feed to my reptiles later on. im loving the dirt, im becoming of the dirt. i am joining with the microbial forces of nature. im becoming part of the more subtle web of life…. its way cool. i feel a lot of strength allied with the microbes, the insects, they are so tiny but so incredibly pervasive, so incredibly…. powerful…… its been really neat tuning into that. its like a hum or buzz that is under everything all the time. like a subtle engine that is really running everything but you never even hear it its so huge and soft. it gives me a feeling of strength and peace underneath. when i die i hope im allowed to biodegrade :-}}} maybe you could spray the baby plants with something non-toxic like pepper spray, and plant miss chickie her own garden somewhere else?
the pepper spray.. i forgot about that….. i’ll have to give that a shot.. i dont know if chickens can taste…. we will see. its a battle for supremacy in -this- garden
