A dedicated family of gardeners

I see this lady and her offspring working hard on their garden on my walk to work. They are preparing a bit of urban wasteground on behalf of a community garden group. Why do pigs always make me smile?

Do a great job of tilling, don't they?

In bushnell, fl wild hogs destroyed everything we planted. Whatever they didn't root up the deer ate. The pioneers obviously only survived by shooting everything that liked to eat crops or livestock. I guess the colonizers of england did the same.

Cute pic!

Apparently pigs do a wonderful job of eating roots of weeds including the rhizomes of grasses such as quackgrass and couchgrass. Wish I liked pigs better cause parts of my new yard could certainly benefit from that. They are interesting and intelligent animals from what others have told me.

Plus they fertilise as they work!
