Chicken Feed




 This morning I picked a little of everything, and pulled my first carrots.  The carrots are Imperator, planted in my 2 block high beds, and I have Danvers Half Long in my single block beds.  







I have another reason to be thankful for my gardens, other than all the fresh goodies they supply us with.  I gave my 5 week old chicks a handful of carrot tops, and they were delighted.





They have just been in the coop, and out of their cardboard castle, a couple days...they love it. 



Someone found a bug...



Nah...false alarm.



I wonder why it took me so long to get chickens...I love watching their silly antics.
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

  3. How in the world do you have such a beautiful veggie garden . . . seriously, how? Time to share some secrets, Janice. ;-)

    Seeing your chickens makes me think I might need to try again. Seeing your posts makes me wish I was your neighbor.

  4. What a beautiful veggie garden in Florida. I want to know how raccoons and other night creatures do not go in there and wreak havoc?

    Happy harvesting and have a great week ~ FlowerLady

    1. Lorraine, I must just be lucky. We do have raccoons, but they've never bothered the garden...hope my luck continues. _Janice

  5. Hi Janice, Your little chicks are soooo adorable. I especially like the way the one is strutting up the walkway. She looks so confident! I'm totally envious of your vegetable garden. It looks great and your harvest looks wonderful!! I should have left more room for veggies! :)

  6. Hi Susan, I 'm certainly enjoying my new little charges. Earlier in the year when we cleared out the space where I have my in ground vegetables, my intent was to plant more flowers. So glad I didn't...I think I've hit my limit as to what I can take care of. Veggies are easier and most of them are gone before it gets too hot. _Janice

  7. I'm glad you're having fun with your chickens. They are really cute! I'm not surprised they love their coop--it is basically the coolest coop I've ever seen!
