I have been so busy with work and stuff that the garden has been neglected and the two bored chickens have been given full access to the front and back garden – out of pure guilt, I must add. There is method to my madness though – I intend to rip out old growth and prune out-of-control perennials. So, let the chickens have there fun.
I have started cutting and mowing and have a pile of all this overgrowth taken to the back (back) garden …… where the sheep can have a feast!

Fresh mowed grass for all![/one_half_last]
These are not my sheep, but my neighbours’ sheep and they graze in the field behind our house. I call this my back (back) garden because we have a gate to this area! It’s nice to have these guys around when you have excess garden refuse. My compost bin can’t handle all this extra load and the sheep enjoy themselves!
What animals are you feeding from your garden?
Happy Gardening xxxxx

How cute are they and how fortuitous. I am feeding birds, deer and assorted other animals even thought he garden is covered in snow with no melting until maybe next weekend.
Wow! Snowing! Feeding the animals now has to come from the kitchen 🙂 Guess we are lucky in Africa!
our neighbours also have sheep, which we often hear, but seldom see behind the walls. My Cape Town ears are reminded of Zurich when I hear sheep.
At first I thought you had bought some sheep! They are adorable. I understand completely about having too much to compost. How nice that you have an easy way to get rid of the extra.
I just feed squirrels and birds as well as the occasional rodent. Those sheep look happy and well-fed.
They are soo cute 🙂
I’m feeding the starlings who come and play in my baths and pond every day at the moment.
Lovely photos Barbs!!
Hi my friend!! They are so sweet -they come running when we open the gate 🙂
I was about to say: when did you get sheep?! I’m glad you explained it. 🙂
Right now I’m only feeding chipmunks (just waking up from winter slumber), raccoons (they sometimes empty the bird feeders at night), deer (they help the raccoons), and of course squirrels. It’s surprising that the birds ever get any seed!
What a fun bunch of animal freinds!! 🙂 I get none of them here:-(
Not even a squirrel!
