I didn't work on making planter boxes today because I had to figure out where they would fit in the area in front of the greenhouse.I used scrap wood to lay out the planter box areas. I raked most of the leaves onto the places that will be the walkways.
The two green bushes are a Rosemary and a Thyme.
There were times today when the sun came out and the hens wanted to sun bathe.
Morgan noticed the chickens laying in the sun and must have thought it was a good idea because she laid down behind them.
Then I noticed Morgan noticing something...Oh, another chicken.
Another sun bather?
Oh... it's Screamer.
What is she up to?
She is such a spoil sport!
No, No, don't run over them.
What a bad girl.
Screamer is a pill.
Oh, well, the Australorp and the Wyandotte are running off with Screamer.
But, the Buff Orpington knows how to relax.
She's not going to let Screamer ruin her time in the sun.
Morgan is not going to let Screamer boss her around either.
I got my time in the sun taking photos and trying to put a garden together. I tried to grow veggies in this area once but they didn't do well at all. This year I hope that using the planter boxes and better soil will mean that we will have a garden full of good things.
After I get everything ready to plant I will need seeds or starter plants. I will start looking around for seeds.
Sprout update: Some of the lentils are splitting, but I don't see any little roots. I'll keep waiting.
