We have a large outdoor temporary fenced-in area for the chickens. Every once in a while it gets moved around for greener patches then they dig away at it until it looks like the ground here. The fence is more for the chickens protection than anything.
They know when to go inside at night, but unfortunately when they are outside of this enclosure we have foxes, eagles, and other predators that we've already lost several hens to.
We have some corn sprouting inside. Last year the crows got all the corn, hopefully some will survive this year. We need a better scare-crow.
Getting strawberries ready. These aren't for this year, but next year. We have 4 different varieties. We also have 2 different varieties of raspberries.
And a couple varieties of blueberries.
Our personal garden. I planted lettuces, mesclun mix, basil, dill, spinach, bunching onions in these row covers.
This garden has a mix of mussel shells, aged pig manure, and Island soil. Had great success with it last year.
Some chives ready to bloom soon.
A couple loose chickens are helping cultivate the soil.
