Too many hawks here to let them free range - I need to think about more hens...we lost our rooster, and I do miss the crowing. I'm thinking about ducks too...but need to learn more. It all looks terrific - you have such a jump on me! Rain, wet, muddy here - and still indoors tackling decades of paperwork that's taking over!

I'm so jealous! I put out few to try winter sowing, and then it snowed. What luck - that's just what I can't figure out, I should have moved things insides when "the experts" think it may snow. Oh well, try, try, again. Love the Birdie beds - they look great! The only 2 cents I can pass on is that I used an old feed trough as a planter - big and deep, so I also put old upside-down flower pots in the bottom to take up room, then sticks, etc. Still the dirt found a way to sneak to the bottom. I'll need to rework this year!Mary, Windy Meadows Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15447477236067796614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205621545063667402.post-35498100594144163012024-03-09T07:56:53.639-05:002024-03-09T07:56:53.639-05:00You mean you separate out all those little seedlin...You mean you separate out all those little seedlings an plant them separately???
