Planting time is here and my beds are not prepared
so I called in the hired help.
Oops, a slight misunderstanding as to where I needed some
digging, hmm might be a good place for that rose-in-waiting
all installed
great to have such helpful grandchildren
now for some serious digging, those raspberries
do need to go in pronto
Violet was also in on the act
trimming around the trees
all heading home after a hard day's work.
Yes, the goat helped as well.
What a fun way to get my soil prepared!
What a delightful post! I love that four legged black hired help!
ReplyDeleteA delightful post indeed, Arija!! Good to see you had so much help! Hope all of you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeletesuch cute garden critter helpers!
ReplyDeleteYou have great helpers there! I like that they're helping you plan your flower beds as well as helping with the heavy work of digging.
ReplyDelete(And I am glad for your grandchildren too!)
Thank you so much for the fascinating information on the African Sausage Tree, I actually went back to it just the other day and was delighted to find a fruit on the ground. I took my find home and was amazed that I ended up needing a pruning saw to hack a bit off and was even more surprised that it was so dense, thick and woody inside.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed reading some of your posts, you live in a lovely part of the world.
Don't you just love it when the animals help. We had a Flemish Giant rabbit that couldn't wait to get in and help my husband dig out a tree root - dirt flying in all directions. Lovely photos Arija.
ReplyDeleteYou can not go wrong with all that help. :)
ReplyDeleteCute animals and I enjoyed your post. Have a happy week ahead!
Nice to have some help in the garden! I love the stove at the top of your blog and am wondering if you use it.
ReplyDeleteFun post. Nice to have animal and human help.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lot of help there Arija. Great photos!

Gardening with pigs - I love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat you had such a good help of grandchildren and animals. It seems you all had a happy day together.
ReplyDeleteYou have piggies, I love piggies.
ReplyDeleteIt is not what it seems Bill. They are my granddaughter's rescue
Deletepet pigs. The goats as well as the dogs are rescue animals. My farm is littered with her pets, including horses and cats as well.
Our vet answers calls very readily, he too loves pigs.
Well your life is not boring with the whole menagerie helping you doing the garden. Lovely post, Arija.

Your hired help could be the best in the world and rather reasonable in that they will accept a bit of food and a nice pat on the head as payment. :)
ReplyDeleteThink she has you twisted round her little finger
ReplyDeleteOh so nice to get all this marvelous help.
