I’m so sorry to learn the news of a major contributor to this thread. Memphis. May she have the most glorious of gardens with lappers and turkeys on garden gates. This thread was so great I think in large part of her wonderful interest and additions. I will miss her. RIP Memphis.

I bet I can't either @lazy gardener . This is the stuff that you mentioned @memphis that does well under pine trees right?

It's beautiful Memphis. I like that grass!

Memphis I love your garden!!!! I see a lapper on your pretty blue ( and white and brown) gate.

Thank you lazy. I love that response. Watch your step as you walk the garden path Doppled in chicken poop. Ahhh ain't that the life?! :lol:

The hydrangeas are loaded with blooms this year. Big and glorious. I had forgot about this red strain of coneflower or echinacea. It's just bloomed in the last two days and looks fabulous. Lots of young blooms coming as well. Very vibrant. And just a progress photo of my ornamental grasses...

And I just reread. No they seem to leave my host as alone as well.

Thank you so much Memphis. I see weeds in the photos. And I see the grass needs to be mowed. Need to grab a teenage son off the couch. But clouds are rolling in some rain I think soon. The chickens love our woods. Cover and good foraging for bugs and frogs and worms and such. They graze a...

Here's what was happening in my yard this morning when I let the chickens out. Pearl is hearing Junior Jump down from the Roost here. Pretty alert. She's getting barebacked. :oops: Here Sylvia is showing me her best side and hopefully dropping some fertilizer instead of just stomping on...

Depending on the map. Yes I've seen different... but 2 or 3. Although with warming trends lately. I bet we could get away with 4...

I wonder how it holds in our zone. Might be some cold limitations. I should google.

Hi Memphis: this thread is my heart piece. I should be more involved. How does monkey grass do under pine trees? (A more acidic soil) I have pines with grass starting to fail underneath. I've pulled some weeds but my gardening has been less than present. Planted the bachelor button seeds...

We have some birds of prey that come around every once in a while. One day I couldn't find my flock and then I heard my roosters predator call. I went to see what the commotion was about. Saw the BOP and here my rooster had all of his hens under a snaggle of Blackberry canes. He knew how to...

Welcome @silarajc . Glad you are enjoying the thread. Be sure to post some photos of your set up and then the plantings as you get agoing. Let us know how they are working for you and if you see the birds using them for cover or shade. Such a good idea. The blackberries. dont be surprised...

Oh, so in addition to white....browns and greens? Lovely.

Annie, I want a garden gate like your Momma's, Memphis has there. And let me guess it is white washed on the other side...?

Sounds nice Lazy. Jerryse and Ralphie on our Minnesota thread are working with scions and grafting. Pears, plums I think.

A New Season is Dawning.... Green shoots of grass are being plucked heartily by my flock in the lawn. They are being chickens. Spring is so glorious. I love seeing them out of the coop and the run and on to better things: hunting, foraging, grazing. Spring is putting a strut in...

Hey Donna: I see alot of open-ness there for sure. I would say some well placed Blackberry bushes. Fast growing Pine trees. Those Hydrangeas I featured on the thread...those are good and beautiful. I like all of what Lazy and Memphis said. You might have to put up some man-made covers...

Welcome DonnaFreak and Peastix. Thank you and don't be shy with photos of your own and advice. My photos are slow at the moment as I live in the great white north. Arg. Come on spring!
