Spring Planting

  

Spring planting started a couple days ago.  The animals had been preparing the field for the big day and are still working for future planting days.  If you look closely, you can see the next planting areas in the background.

First the goats work in the small paddocks.  Their job is to eat the weeds and whatever else that is green and appealing to them. 

The goats also get to eat or lick whatever is placed in their trough.

Next, the pork-a-tillers move in and turn-up the soil by eating all the roots and plants that are left.  They do an excellent job.

 

Humans then rotate into the paddock to make rows and plant...

 

potatoes, peas, beets, lettuce and more.
