Method
 

**Phase 1: Cultivation**
  1. Prepare your garden beds by tilling the soil and mixing in compost and topsoil. Plant your carrot, potato, pea, onion, and herb seeds according to package directions, ensuring adequate spacing.
  2. Set up a chicken coop in a secure location, ensuring it has adequate ventilation, roosting bars, and nesting boxes. Introduce your day-old chicks to the coop, providing them with a heat lamp, chick feed, and fresh water.
  3. Water your garden daily, especially during dry spells, and fertilize as needed. Tend to your chickens by providing daily feed and water, cleaning the coop regularly, and protecting them from predators.
  4. Observe your plants for growth and harvest vegetables and herbs when they reach maturity. Continue to care for your chickens until they are fully grown and ready for consumption (typically 4-6 months).
**Phase 2: "Assembly"**
  1. Once all ingredients have been cultivated and harvested, you can proceed with your favorite chicken pot pie recipe using your homegrown ingredients.
