Hi guys,
Just thought Id add a few pictures today, as I had time to go play outside this morning....love mornings in Florida in the fall/winter. Anyway, first off, I have my splash rock rooster that I just have no place for right now. So I thought Id put him in my grow out pen with my little chicks and see how he did, since he's always been so mellow. Well, he's been out there for over a month, and he's just the best boy!!
I dont think any of the hens would be better then he is towards them. Ive never seen him peck them, even once, even when he's chillin out laying down, and they jump on him. He's so good!
This is a picture of some kind of sunflower....Peruvian? Argentinian? Venezuelan? I cant remember. Theres a cuban family down the road that has dozens of these lining their yard. I stopped one day when the lady was watering them, and asked her what they were...they literally stop traffic. She doesnt speak Eng, and I dont speak Span, so it was tough at first, but she finally understood that I was admiring them, and she told me they were "Peruvian or whatever" sunflowers. Then she went over and ripped one branch out of the ground and gave to me. So I stuck it in the ground last year, and it came up this year, and just grows like a weed. When one of the branches blow over, I just yank it up and stick it in the ground and it grows. Love plants like this.
