Oh two blogs in one day, awesome!
I just wanted to update on the chook pen and the garden.
The pen is finished and they have been in there afew weeks now. We thought about putting wire on the top to stop the sparrow swarm, but that has gone into 'the too hard for now' basket.
*Note to all fellow pen builders, measure the size of the night house before you build the pen as it may not fit though the gate!!!!* I love that I can go to work when it is hot and know they will be cool and have heaps to do and eat.
The garden is going crazy with all the rain, we are harvesting giant cucumbers and tomatoes of all types, as they are all seedlings that came up in the compost.
What type are these, in the pic below? I really Don't know a cross between shop brought hard skinned things and Kellogs breakfast, i am guessing as they ripen orange and have the toughest skin? (Kellogs is a heritage tomato with orange skin.)
I also have zebra cherry, and large. Also a big beef steak type one! lovely and all tasty!
The foam boxes are covered to stop the 'girls' from eating them!
Have a great day, Em

your chook pen looks great and I'm glad you've had heaps of rain too!!
Great pen. A simple method we used to top our chook run was to put a post taller than your outer fencing posts in the middle of the pen. Run wire from that post to each corner of the outer fencing posts then cover with bird netting you use for fruit trees. Stops the cats and hawks we get around here.
cheers
