My garden

Our finished product! The green netting is to keep the chickens out and to provide some shade from the intense sun. Me and my garden helpers. I promise I didn't make them do hard labor- they wanted to help! And they knew a lot more about gardening in this soil than I do.

Planting the seeds

Swiss chard/spinach/greens are called Rape here. I still havne't gotten used to seeing "Rape for Sale" at the stores. So far though, it's the only thing that's sprouted in the garden.
