A few pictures...

Thought I would post some pictures of the chickens and plants so that we have some now and then shots...

this is the main garden bed right now..asparagus, yellow squash, 1 tomato plant, okra, a huge blueberry bush, strawberries hanging, 2 pumpkin plants, zucchini, and a couple of cukes grow here.


 This is the deck, mainly my herbs here (sweet basil, oregano, rosemary, sage, flat leaf parsely, thyme), carrots in 2 pots that Sam & Zoe planted,  some lettuces, and a couple more strawberries tht may or may not make it..


 Also on the deck, a Meyer lemon and a Key lime tree...love these!



 This is the chicken coop, built by Robert!  Fort Knox of coops...


 The big girls, Bea (the red sex link), girlfriend, and Lulu (the barred rocks)


 The little girls and quite possibly boy (the black and white one, Bogey).  The others are named Chocolate, pickle, and Truffle.  They are all Ameracauna mixes known as "easter eggers"  They should lay blue or green eggs.


Thanks for "touring" the yard with me!  Hopefully there will be huge changes seen over the next year...but more on that later!
