Baby Turkeys Go to Bed

Last year about this time, Gardener's Supply had a sale (last I checked they had one now, too). I also had a coupon for free shipping, and checked out using eBates (like DiscoverCard, they give you cash back by purchasing items from approved vendors through their site. Sign up here, it's free.) So this raised bed was mine for just around $100.00.

It took me a year to decide to set it up and where. It's been a little side project of mine. The soil is a mix of pro-mix, and composted goat and donkey manure. In I have planted dill and basil. While I am planning on enclosing it in some welded wire fencing, for the time being the soil and seeds are covered in a remay fabric to protect them from the birds.


Or so I thought.

It turns out, TURKEYS LOVE REMAY FABRIC. Who knew?

Although this picture shows just 2, it wasn't long until 5 turkey poults piled on and took a nap on my raised bed.

Murphy didn't even try to stop them. Guess I get working on that fence right away!
