Update on my low electric fence. ONE hen, the BAD hen, managed to get under it, requiring me to improve the fence.

Where are you guys at that you have a garden already? What I did in my garden area today was sunk up to the top of my boots in mud.

16 more pavers down this morning I only have 6 more to go but I'll have to haul some more dirt first so I'll finish up Sunday morning while I water. We'll have a walkway that wraps around the back of the house from one patio to the other when I'm done.

The weather is gorgeous today. High clouds and a breeze. Not too hot but we're expecting mid 90s for a couple of days next week. Not ready for that!

I'm off to do coop chores and rake chicken poop. Have a great afternoon everyone

I want to share with you all my thoughts on gardening.

Nature is what happens when the conditions are right. A plant grows very well when the conditions around it, like the sunlight, the humidity, the temperature, Etc are all right. If the conditions are right, it's only natural that the plant thrives and grows. To go further, for a plant to flower and/or fruit, the conditions need to be right. This includes things like fertilizer, nutrients in the soil, soil drainage, the list goes on and on. If all the conditions are right, it's only natural that a plant flowers and/or fruits. Take for example my Meyer lemon and my banana plant. The conditions are right for the Meyer lemon the fruit, but even then, the fruit is very small, even when it is ripened. My banana grows, but has not fruited yet. Why is this?

The answer is simple, and I realize it now. The conditions are right for them to not fruit, or fruit and have the fruit be small. It's only natural that this happens because of the conditions around them. It's all nature.

Nature is what happens when the conditions are right. It is very true for growing plants, flowering plants, fruit, the list goes on and on. To be a successful gardener, you need to make sure that the conditions are right for the plants to thrive.

The phrase is the same for everything, not just plants. A car moves because the conditions are right to make it move. A car fails because the conditions are right for it to fail.

It's all the same, nature is what happens when the conditions are right. It is especially true for growing plants

I posted this on the garden.org Forum also. I just wanted to share it with you guys.

And there in a nutshell is the gardeners battle.

Doesn’t everyone have a chicken like that?
Judy is the smartest chicken ever such a troublemaker. Yesterday I was so frustrated with the tarp & wind. I think my husband looked out the window when I ripped off my sweat shirt threw it on the ground then grabbed the crowbar and was chasing Judy around lol. He came out to see if he could help.
I’d never be physically harmful... ever!
Now that would of been a funny video. I’ll never have another chicken like Judy I promise you she’s a dog in a chicken suit! I love her.
Gratuitous photo op just had to~sorry lol.
