Vengan a ver mi chacra

I grew up in Peru. Although my schooling was in English I took Spanish classes from second grade on. One of the songs we learned as children was the Spanish version of Old McDonald. It goes like this:

Vengan a ver mi chacra que es hermosa,
Vengan a ver mi chacra que es hermosa,
El pollito hace así: peep, peep!
El pollito hace así: peep, peep!
O va camarad', O va camarad',
O va, O va, O va!
O va camarad', O va camarad',
O va, O va, O va!

Translation:

Come and see my farm which is beautiful,
Come and see my farm which is beautiful,
The little chicken goes like this: peep, peep!
The little chicken goes like this: peep, peep!
O come my friend, O come my friend,
O come, O come, O come!
O come my friend, O come my friend,
O come, O come, O come!

Of course all the animals and their respective sounds are sung in turn...

A chacra is a small farm or garden. Last year my wife Cris and I bought a house in Seattle and now we've got our own little chacra. I've long been interested in gardening but never really had the opportunity until now. As I've begun to research gardening I've discovered there's a lot I need to learn. Sadly, I have a tendency to read things and then forget where I read them. I'm starting this blog so I can capture information as I learn it and perhaps to serve as a useful resource for others. Additionally, I hope to hear from readers what their experiences might be. I imagine there's a lot you could teach me!
