Party in the Greenhouse!

{In Which the Resident Poultry Population Helps Me Transplant Seedlings}

I spent the afternoon squatting over trays of seedlings in the greenhouse, transplanting them into larger containers with one hand and shooing the turkeys and chickens away with the other.

The poor, helpless- and unfortunately tender and delicious- seedlings did not escape the scene without a few casualties. As it turns out, chickens and turkeys are relentless and sneaky when there are scrumptious miniature cucumber plants to be had.

And then the whole thing kind of deteriorated into a poultry photo shoot and before I knew it two hours had gone by and I had only transplanted two flats of seedlings. Oops.
