I would send you Rosie to weed it for you. I know her though, she would find a way to weasel a plant or two from you to bring home. My fill dirt of a yard is useless for a flower garden. Leave it to that child to plant a cactus and have them flourish. Before you ask, no I have never once let her get that idea in her head. She would have one planted before the week was out.
The cactus I have in my garden survive -30C winters, they would flourish no problem were you are! They are native to Ontario, and have lovely yellow flowers.
That made me laugh out loud.
I think I see your point!
they hurt!
No feathered feet on any of them. No Cochin chooks next door either.
So here is a thought. How good of a relationship do you have with your neighbor? Maybe a deal could be struck since your hens are neglecting their duties to the "way of the chicken" and not going broody. You could ask next time they have a broody hen to let her set on some of your eggs to hatch out and raise for you.
She wasn’t too happy with me, when I performed that eviction today.
The idea is sweet. But that guy is the irresponsible one, who spreads rat poison around his house. I really don’t trust him that much.
