After two weeks away on holiday, we came home to a decimated veggie garden, largely eaten and vandalised (mulched moved around, plants broken) by our own chooks! The lovely neighbours who were feeding them in our absence, had (for reasons unknown) not kept them confined in their run, but let them free range all over the new veggie patch and the rest of the garden.
Chooks loved the Tuscan kale and silver beet, but didn't find the beans or cherry tomatoes. I did some repair work earlier in the week, and planted replacements. So it is with some irony that I post this photo of the harvest from the garden today. Lots of eggs (particularly well-flavoured no doubt) and just a few tomatoes and beans. Oh well, almost a meal!
more later

Oh wow, that's really too bad. But the eggs look very beautiful with the bright red tomatoes!
I hope your veggie patch will restore soon and that your chooks will be better behaved next time :)
I always have a great deal of admiration for people who grow their own stuff!
Visiting you from 'On My Mind',
