Doco's grass

Crazy hens.  Doco has been working hard to repair the parts of the lawn munched by the snow-plow.  His last step before seeding was to bring multiple wheelbarrow-loads of rich wormy earth from Mick's garden.  No sooner had he up-ended the barrow than the foraging hens converged on the pile with their scratch scratch scratch.  By the time I got there with my camera, the pile was largely dispersed.  Farmer's helpers.  'Red' was in there too, but has just stalked off pretending he's not interested.


And then there are the vines ...
… actually Norbert's - delicious green eating-grapes.  They were growing so madly in all directions that Doco made slats to tie them to and tamed them, a little.  I think Doco just likes working up there in the orchard.  

Produce coming everywhere!  Buckets of strawberries.  Cherries and gooseberries a day or two from ripe.   I have been taming the raspberries in Chris's garden, just beginning to show red.   And of course there are piles of Chris's greens.  Where are all the eaters?
