lol Debid! Yea, I am planting them. Its good for the chickens and us. We have tons growing in the lawn but DH mows them to the ground. I wanna take care of them so we can have really nice greens, blossoms and seeds. I wanted to try that dandelion root coffee too. I think I will throw seeds in...

I'll remember to plant peppers for them. I planted some black pearl peppers, maybe they'll like those! What about planting a bag of cheap wild birdseed in a sunny area?

Jumping chickens Batman! lol It would be neat to hang food up sometimes so they have to jump to get it, LOL. Do you guys know the plant spacing on dandelions? One, two or four per square foot? I want to make a tidy, thick patch of them for us and the chickens.

Cuccuzi are awesome-looking! That's a big plant! I'll see if we can find seeds around here. I was thinking about pureeing excess veggies and garden waste up and making dehydrated feed. I've already started on my recipe and cannot wait to try it out!

I am growing the duckweed in my rain barrels and growing pools. I am using it to feed not only the chooks but goats, worms and other animals as well. Yummy. I just read in Backyard Poultry about parsley for chickens. It sounds like something we need to plant. The rainbow kale-- that is...

Zucchini bread! I am so planting that now, LOL. I read about kale--I'll see what seeds I can find around town. I grew these tomatoes last year--I forget what kind, some sort of grape/cherry heirloom. We got THOUSANDS of fruit off two plants. I rarely watered or fertilized and the plants grew...
