    Went to the state fair and saw a great exhibit with baby chicks. And of course I looked at all the full grown ones too. What fun.

    Enjoy the eggs :)

I'll have to suggest to my friend to build a larger coop and rotate around the yard, she surely has a big enough one!

Are yours white or brown hens? She has brown and therefore brown eggs..and nothing like a fresh egg!

    I will keep them in a coop. Have racoons and foxes and hawks to protect them from.Raised them for 12 years before. Will rotatate them around the yard with a rolling coop.

    Blessing or a curse....my best friend lives in a rural area and wanted chickens..she has 6 of them. Fore warning though, they will eat a lot of your garden, bulbs, etc. if you let them free range and the poop, we'll let's say she has a special pair of chicken boots.

She is a gardner of veggies and plants :) and is not too happy about the eating of them, roots and all.

Will you keep them confined to a coop or free range?

oodles of lettuce and peas

Tuesday, January 22, 2013

Lots harvested today. Fresh salad sooo good. Cukes too. I'm really gettin the hang of this container gardening thing. Took some time, but its easier then I thought. I was so used to having a farm size garden. Amazing what u can grow in a small space if u try.

    I live in the Northeast and last summer was my first crack at cherry tomatoes, Added to the front of my house and they blended in nicely. I would love to try pots as my other veggies didn't do so well! My broccoli never sprouted and my green peppers were no where to be found. emoticon

my winter garden

Sunday, January 20, 2013

Has been a bit too warm of a winter this year for my winter vegis but looking forward to a cold snap to save my broccoli and sprouts! Eating my peas, just wonderful. Friends and family love just walking thru my garden and plucking something off. Too happy for words with my garden. If you have been thinking about it, stop. Just do it. Good luck.

    I love carrots and broccoli. Especially home grown. Enjoy them while you have them because soon you will be buying them in the store again. Use the nutrition tracker to track the food you eat.

    Love it when we finally get cooler. We can't grow anything in the sand of the low desert here. So happy for you that you can.
