[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2115490, member: 1242"] Here's another "learning as I'm going" post. And gardening is one of the things I've not been very successful with -- so far. Thank goodness I wouldn't have a problem butchering any of "my babies" (that would be the chickens or the rabbits ...). Although I'd probably wind up taking GC to counseling if I killed off any of those chickens ... He's awful fond of them ... Dunno what I'm gonna do when it comes time to "refresh" year after next ... I've set up a couple of small raised beds and one big one. I'm also gonna try some vertical gardening on the fence line (with some cucumbers and maybe a melon plant or two) and some containers on the patio -- specifically a potato barrel and some self-watering containers. In the front, if I can get a herb/flower garden off the ground in that front flower bed, and a couple of fig trees to make it through the hottest part of the summer then I'll feel like I've accomplished what I sat out to do this year. Wish me luck -- Based on past years' experiences I'm gonna need it. Thanks to Cinaet I am now actually growing sprouts, not just watching them sprout and then wither away and die! :blush: Sometimes it's the most obvious things that will get you! :faint::) ETA: Oh ... and I almost forgot. I'm gonna give growing some microgreens a try. I figure after I "mow" the greens I can flip the trays over and feed the chickens the roots (maybe some greens too), let them dig through it, walk on it, poo on it, mix it in with the hay real good and then have some killer compost for next year. :) [/QUOTE]
