Yes, I have four gardeners constantly at work in my yard. They are great at pest control, they work for scratch and pay me! How many of you have gardeners that work hard and pay you for the privilege? I was removing spent peas vines the girls love eating the leaves. Yesterday Larry and I spent part of the day at the Clark County Fair. What a shame to see how the local fairs are diminishing, not nearly the participants that we saw 10 years ago. We enjoyed looking at the hens and I thought why don't they have displays that are pertinent to current interest. Urban hens are getting to be such a big deal yet not one exhibit showing people how easy and fun it is to have your own egg producers on a city lot. I have opened my suburban hen house to visitors on weekends. Since we are two blocks from the farmers market we get a lot of foot traffic on Saturdays. It is fun to share this hobby with others the fairs need to take note and get on board with agriculture for all not just large farm operations but also the urban farmer. My neighbor is not building the most wonderful hen house for her chicks, that she purchased several months ago. They are going to be laying come late fall and another urban hen house it born.
