We have over 3/4 acre. This year we are only planting half and the chickens will live on the other half. We are trying to get rid of wire worms and read that chickens are good for that - so the plan is to alternate chickens and garden from side to side.

Thank you. I have been collecting doubles and even some triples for a while now. I do have CG (charles grimaldi), peaches and cream but they aren't in that set on the video. The one that looks like CG is probably Ludger's Windsong it is pretty orangy in color. I have a few of my own hybrids that I crossed myself as well now. Here is one that is Rosalla x Pink Perfection that opened on Halloween.
It is a nice double pink that gets dark as a cherry Twizzler (from dd's Halloween candy) lol.
first night it opened
day2
day3 (Lighting is pretty bad but cherry Twizzlers are pretty dark pinkish/red lol)
BTW I love your waterlilies and your leaf casting. I have some Monstera leaves that I want to try casting if I can get the hang of it. They have holes in the middle of the leaves like swiss cheese lol. So I am not sure how to go about casting them. Any ideas? I grew 2 tropical waterlilies and 1 hardy yellow one last year and a bunch of lotus. I hope they all made it through our winter this year.
We did have one tropical water lily, Red Flare, that we would take out of the pond and overwinter it in the greenhouse, but it didn't make it one year. Just to let you know, our pond was featured in Lilypons catalog 2 yrs ago, I think. We won a $100 gift certificate
I am sooooooooooooo craving spring. In fact, I am going out to plant some of my snow peas... I can't wait any longer! Its March, good enough for cool weather crops for me.
