TKG Take Ten: The Tractor Shed
This morning I saw a chicken run out of the tractor shed with a mouse in her beak. AHA I thought - let's watch this space for ten minutes.
Every corner of the farm is interesting as you and I listen or watch. With intent.
That sentence reminds me of my mother saying “Blah Blah Blah … if you would JUST listen to me for once!”
Anyway, this week I am working on crystallising the changes that are coming in the New Year to this SubStack. This Letter from The Kitchen’s Garden Farm. This wonderful thing we are building. First: I am still looking for the perfect title for the 10 mins FarmScape series.
And - as usual YOU are part of this quest. How about:
"Our Daily Farm Ten"
Okay, I know, the name suggests daily, and here's the twist – it's every weekday. PLUS I will continue this series even when I am travelling so it will not always be FARM. Hmm. How about:
“Our Daily Ten” - Not enough info. Hmm
or
“TKG Daily. Take Ten”
or (drumroll!).
“TKG Take Ten”.
Which would you choose? I like TKG Take Ten. Let's try that on, see how it feels, it gives the impression that the TEN is a restful ten mins. A break. I will remind people often that TKG means The Kitchen’s Garden.
Your input and ideas are more than welcome. We have moved past soundscape, farmscape, 10mins, I need something that tells you exactly what you are clicking on when you see this in your inbox. And snappy.
And titles are important.
Now that I have dragged you through my convoluted thought processes, I am going to turn on my TKG Take Ten (that rolled nicely off the tongue) and while it plays I will make my notes for tomorrow. I find this is the perfect amount of time to organise a day every (week) day! Ten minutes.
Take care and Talk soon.

PS How about this for a gift idea for the holidays; Give someone, who might be in need of a little down time on the farm, a gift subscription. The farm is great company. They will receive my Sustainable Sunday Letter PLUS FIVE “TKG Take Ten” a week. A month of farm visits would be a great gift I think. Especially across the madness of the holiday season.
And - of course - anyone can unsubscribe or pause a subscription at any time.
And I would love you to consider upgrading as a holiday gift for the Farm. Plus I need to buy a new tripod after Big Jude took Offence to my last One. Click to watch his shenanigans! Merciful heavens - That Pig!

I saw the cat Lulu? running about but couldn't tell if she had a mouse. I am surprised by how fast the chickens run--and wonder where are they running to when they run to the right of the camera and out of view.
Why not just Take Ten? Then you can say "let's take ten in the kitchen garden" at the start :)
