Chickens = Mini-pigs

So I noted in the last garden post about how our Romaine lettuce bloomed while we were away on vacation, and therefore is now inedible (extremely bitter).  Inedible only for us humans though, as the chickens loved it!  The next morning, not a scrap of green leaf was left.  Most of our food that goes south, especially produce, usually goes to the chickens.  They are basically miniature pigs, they'll eat most food scraps.  Last year before we put bird netting on our tomatoes, we had a lot of tomatoes that were missing big chunks from the birds.  They went crazy over those.   Unfortunately for the chickens, this year we are going to have bird netting from the start, hence the PVC frame "house" over the tomato bed.

Rizzo and Sweetums dig in.
