View attachment 1653845 I’m the crazy gardener. I’m trying to garden IN my chickens yard. :oops:
We built our house 6 years ago. Our forever home.
I started with a patch of desert and a desire to keep chickens and a passion for gardening.
The first year we built boxes.
The second year we built a 6’ fence around the backyard. And had a load of dirt hauled in.
The third year I filled by hand most of the garden boxes I planted my perennial fruits and vegetables.
I battled the plethoras if native weeds. I battled sagebrush for years.
Rocks...let me tell you about rocks!!! :barnie
I had no trees. So now all my trees are either from digging in a friends yard for runners (when they come over they want to see “their” trees) or I’ve let a couple of Elm take root that blew into my yard.
I have this idea to have everything in my garden have a personal story behind it from friends and family or big events in my life. Just me.
Lush and green is not water responsible in the desert. Each year it improves. I do fence my boxes. But it’s a chickens yard and I enjoy every second of it. My most favorite spot on earth :p
Who knows maybe when I’m 80 I’ll have things just right.
I love this!!!! :D It is hard to start from scratch. Bravo!!!
 
You can grow vining plants up rather than out to save space. Some things need to be tied to a trellis and I've seen old stockings used as slings for squash and melon.

I'm going to try it this year in the garden with the quail in there.
 
Hey yall!!! This weekend was productive. Transplanted cabbage, Brussel sprouts, spinach, and broccoli. Planted mustard greens, red potatoes, sweet peas, and onions. The weather is up and down and my fruit trees/bushes don't know how to act. Impatiently waiting until March to plant the rest of the garden. Might start them indoors....not sure yet.

I'm going to let my guineas have access to the garden. Maybe they can help with the critters. Potatoe and squash beetles are terrible here. Definitely will have plenty to eat.
