FYI:
Out of everything I grow, the chickens will find & devour any type of lettuce if they get access to it!! (and baby bean starts)
Even Mizuna lettuce, which is spicier than most... like a mustard green?

My only chicken crops are two planter boxes of "Catgrass" (wheat and rye), which I'll drag in to their run when they get long and green. In my SFG, I have radishes, carrots, peas, and a couple of other things I can't recall now.

What's an SFG?

Square Foot Garden

I have a SFG also. Right now I am harvesting spinach and onions - which actually grew all winter.
I planted lettuce, peas and cabbage into the growhouse already. The peas are just starting to pop up. The cabbage I started indoors and just transplanted outside.
I have started tomatoes, peppers, basil and shasta daisies in the house still.

Been busy planting 155 trees and shrubs that we bought from the conservation district - in about 10 years we'll have 5 foot trees.

This is my "growhouse" that I am Square Foot Gardening in. It is 4x8 and 4 feet tall.
I needed something to extend the growing season - acorrding to the experts, we have 64 days from last frost to first frost.
I also needed to protect the plants from wind, hail, antelope, gophers, jack rabbits, ...

The side panels come off so I can tend the garden.

my parsley, arugula, cilantro are rags. i'm impatiently waiting for them to finish setting seeds. the swiss chard is still going. i have carrots, but i ate one yesterday & it was tough. i am going to learn to grow better carrots.
i had great success w/sugar snap peas, but i've crossed them off my list because they made my blood sugar go up.
the cucumbers are starting to flower. hoping for them. bush beans are putting out their little bitty baby beans.
starting to pull onions. i planted three types. they didn't bulb as big as i wanted. next year, i'll follow the fertilizing regimine more closely.
pepper plants are blooming & some peppers setting, but the plants are getting overwhelmed by the tomato plants. we'l see how that goes.
egg plants are blooming. no setting yet.
tomato plants are doing GREAT. i've never had success w/tomatoes. i have three types - roma, celebrity, & sweet 100. all three are supposed to do well in Texas. they're blooming like crazy & have alot of tomatoes coming along. i'm real excited about them.

i don't have anything specifically for the chickens. i like the idea of a wagon growing full of grasses & pulling it into the run for the chickens to work over. i think i have to try that.

i like this thread alot.

Been picking strawberries for a month to month and half. Got my 1st dill heads today(3). Should have some peppers ready in about a week.

In my back yard garden I have Sunflowers, Radishes, String Beans, and I am looking for Collard Green seeds, but can't seem to find any. My wife is planting Green Bean, Squash, Carrots, Beets, Pumpkins , Watermellon, and Zuccini in her garden.

Oh yeah, I forgot about our olive tree, and pepper tree...
