I put the gardens to bed today. The last harvest-able vegetables were picked, then I flung the gate open for the sheep, chickens and ducks to have a PARTY there. They made short work of weed seeds, insects and the wilting leaves of pepper and squash plants.
The chickens searched for bugs...
The ducks rejoiced in the fine dining offered up by slugs and half rotted tomatoes.
I stood outside in a cold drizzle for a LONG time watching the livestock. It seems magical that the ruined garden will feed the animals. The garden continues to feed us....
