I love the smell of dirt!

There is just something about freshly tilled earth that I love.   When its for a garden it brings anticipation of vine ripened tomatoes, sweet corn and melons.  Apparently the crows like it too!  The tilling wasn't even completed before they showed up to pick it over. 

Last year the corn was just a couple of inches out of the ground when they took the whole crop!   Needless to saw crows are on my "most wanted" list and if you have a sure fire way to keep those flying rats out of the garden I sure would love to hear about it!
