The Ladies are very good "helpers" in the garden. They are curious and quite social when the hoe and rake start sifting up the soil for a new season of planting. They are quick to scratch and pick cutworms, grubs, beetles and millipeeds out of the freshly cultivated soil. Not too mention the "fertilizer" that is dropped at various spots when the "moment" strikes them.
It's worth the few plants that get uprooted to have the company of girls around your feet. It's a laugh to see one of them find an worm and take off on "the run" and the rest of the gardening crew on "the chase". The purrs, clucks and scratching is a welcome part of the whole experience.
There's a couple girls that just won't leave my side when I enter the garden. In fact... it's quite hilarious!
