# 🌱🐕😴 20 kg of Seeds & a Napping Queen: Preparing the Garden of Eden  🇮🇹 **[Versione italiana di questo post: clicca qui per leggerla sul blog @amico](/@amico/20-kg-di-semi-e-una-regina-addormentata-si-vz1btoye)** · 🇬🇧 *Italian version of this post available on the @amico blog.* Yesterday was one of those wonderful "working" Sundays: sun, dogs, hens, a table with a story, a coop that grows and 20 kilos of seeds waiting for their big moment. Let's go through it, in order. 👇 ## 🐔 Opening the coop: the daily routine The day started with the usual ritual: **opening the coop** so that our **six hens** can run happily around the **Garden of Eden**. They exit like a squad of commandos on a mission: heads high, pace fast, and a clear plan (mine: save the vegetables; theirs: the opposite). 😄 ## 🌫️☀️ Less fog than usual... and then a spectacular sun The morning had **less fog than usual**: just a few white veils lying in the valleys between the hills.   And then the sun took over, and what a sun: a spectacular blue sky and a golden light over the fields. ☀️  ## 🐕🐾 Morning walk with @bdog and @choko.shock A short morning walk with the usual team: our elegant **@bdog** (15 years old, and not one day less dignified) and the energy bomb **@choko.shock**.  During the walk we admired the **dew drops on the spider webs**: a natural jewellery shop, open before sunrise and free of charge. 💎🕸️   And a few stunning flowers, still blooming in October (yes, that is **Ca' Paradiso** wrapped in yellow ones):     ## 🧹 A big thank you to @crmilazz! Today **@crmilazz** gave me **a huge help** with the deep cleaning, putting everything in order both in the **kitchen** and in **my bedroom**. 🙏 Thank you, truly, for all the help and for your lovely presence at Ca' Paradiso: the house has never been so tidy, and it is much nicer with you here. 💛  ## 🪵 A table full of memories Together we also gave a **straw-yellow oil treatment** to the beautiful **wooden table under the porch**. It's a **memory of my family of origin**, a piece of wood that has seen many dinners, and now shines again, ready for many more. ## 🐔🏗️ The mobile coop: almost done With the help of @crmilazz we also **completed the mobile coop**. Almost, to be honest: **a piece of net is missing**, so we improvised by covering the roof with a **corrugated sheet**. Very Italian solution: if you can't do it perfectly, do it effectively. 😅 The hens will surely tell me what they think.  ## 🌾 Sunset: preparing the sowing of the Garden of Eden After sunset I prepared everything for the **broadcast sowing** in the **hectare that will become the future, enlarged Garden of Eden**: **20 kg of organic green manure seeds** (a mix of cover crops).  The seeds will be **activated two days before** the sowing, which is planned for **Thursday**, given the weather forecast: they will soak in a **big basin of water**, ready to wake up.  Playing in the grass at dusk, as the sun goes down, @choko.shock too found something important to do: examine two spiky balls, with the seriousness of a quality inspector.  ## 😴 The napping queen of the Garden of Eden And now the real boss of the day: **@bdog**. At 15 years old she is allowed to do what she wants, and what she wanted was **several naps right in the middle of the Garden of Eden**. 👑  Somebody has to supervise the future orchard, and she takes the job very seriously (from a horizontal position, in the shade). 😂 --- So that was yesterday: coop, fog, sun, walks, a table full of memories, 20 kg of seeds and a thousand little jobs. A very "Eden" kind of day. 🌿 **Your turn:** have you ever sown cover crops or green manure to enrich the soil? Any tips for a hectare-sized sowing by hand? And what's your favourite way to rest after a hard day: a nap in the grass like @bdog?
