Yes, I want to make some tea from some of this mint. I will have to look at some of my pans. See if there are any that I can give up. Why is it that you always go for your older pans when you have newer pans in there that you can use. Is it because I want to save my new pans..they look so nice don't ya know, or, is it because I know I can get more use out of them..ha, haven't decided which it is yet. But pans, do sound like a great way to go, and I won't have to worry about looking for the older ones over the new ones. Silly, I know. Now, when you say shallow, are you talking cake/casserole pans? It seems like those would work.

Both cake pans or regular pots will work/ You really don't need alot of soil for some herbs....The Mint works well i both. I had some old tin cake pans I used til they rusted out. Cracked casserole pans work even better, esp since you shouldn't cook with them anymore....

Anyone else plant Malabar spinach up their fencing for the birds? This year, I've ordered a lot of extra to plant it heavily. Sunflowers, too- that's going to go in 1" hardware cloth cages to protect the roots.

I put in 6 more grape vines to help shade, as well. That's my favorite, so far- training the grapes to cover and protect the run while shading and providing treats!

Chooks, have you written anything about growing plants for poultry? You are doing what I would like to do and I would love to read more on HOW to get started and what plants to use. I have never heard about Malabar Spinach, but just ordered some seeds to plant. I want to plant in cages for the birds also, especially vines. What variety of grapes grows well here in Ks? So many questions... You plant the sunflowers inside the wire cages? How does that work?

HI!! to everyone else. Is it ok if I join your group? I have been reading for a little while. I have a mixed flock of geese, ducks and chickens - mostly bantams. A retirement hobby would probably best describe my poultry venture.

isn't the rule if I cook, you do the dishes and vice versa? Maybe you can come to that agreement and the birds will sing, and the rainbows will appear, and the stars will shine...
 
Welcome chickies, please join in. Having a mixed flock like you do you will surely have some good input for the rest of us. Always looking for another old soul who is as obsessed as everyone else!
 
Ordering some Buff day old ducklings today from McMurray, whom we have used over ten years and we've never had a problem. I am so enamored with these ducks, they are gorgeous color, will let y'all know how it goes, will have them next week so they can go out sooner rather than later.

Actually ducky, at our house DH cooks and cleans up after because I have my animal chores. I have to say I consider myself pretty lucky.
