Pigeon poop and poultry escapes

     Happy St Pat's day.  3rd day of the 4th quarter, Temps in the 70's and overcast.  Today was manure spreading day.  I worked from about noon to 5pm, but took lots of breaks.  Manure hauling is heavy work.  I got pigeon manure from our hayloft, and spread it on the asparagus, herbs, strawberries, garlic and the beds where I'll be planting the lettuce, spinach, peas and some of the carrots and potatoes.  I also raised the height of the fence between the garden and the chicken yard from about 5 feet to 7 feet.  If this doesn't keep the chickens out of the garden, I'll have to stand guard with a chicken hook and an ax.  (Don't tell the chickens I'm not serious about it, even though we only got one egg today..)
