OOPS, I meant to say that I like to garden and the ducks like to EAT the garden. I took care of that issue as quick as I could erect my redneck lattice fence.  It may not be fancy, but it was free and it keeps the little devils out!

This is the drill.  I am supposed to dig, weed, pull out all the good stuff and then feed them the leftovers.   Like clockwork they sit by the fence and make lots of noise until I send the greens to the other side. 

They gobble down carrot tops like there’s no tomorrow!

Then there were the potato plants that they could demolish by sticking their heads through the lattice.  By the time I dug potatoes the other day there wasn’t much left of the plant, but I sure got some nice potatoes!

And they got the rest of the plant.

I have SO much basil right now and haven’t had time to pick it, so the ducks are getting bunches.  I’m hoping I could  get basil flavored eggs this way

But the best thing right now are all the tomatoes that are getting ready to ripen that the ducks will NEVER be able to touch!  I’ve been waiting for this humongous green tomato to turn red.  Seems like all the tiny ones around it want to turn, but it won’t!!

I’m pretty sure the safest plant in the garden may be the jalapenos!

I have learned to gauge my work time by the ducks eating time.  About the time they are worn out from all that gorging on greens, I’m also done picking and weeding.  This is the scene when they are full and happy, especially Cher……
