Artjak. Bless. does Flossieflo stay for hours? Leo worships OH and sits at the gate waiting for him to return and give him a pat. It's all he asks for!
Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.” A A Milne
Hi Lily Pilly - keeping hens - we have 4 now and I must say they are very easy but garden plants have to be well thought out. We have a large well established garden - with lots of trees so to be honest we don't need to add many flower interests as we feel there is enough going on. We are rural too so our hens have a wonderful life - wandering into the field next door on a late afternoon and their little heads can just be seen through the fence as they sunbathe. Dustbaths are a joy to behold and when I sit and watch them (often for too long) I realise how sad it is for the battery hens. No cockerel - they don't need one - they give us lovely eggs. Cockerels will mean chicks and this is where it all gets complicated. We've done that - we just want nice eggs now. Any questions just shout. I'd recommend anybody to keep a few chickens - strong secure housing - no pesky fox issues.
Sorry lily pilly as pic quite dark at the stable door and thought they were labs
They really are a couple of beauties and hope you had a smashing time going bonkers Think my neighbours think I'm bonkers when they hear me all day long talking to Beau
Artjak your flossie flo is dead cute and would love her to be waiting at my gate for me
These are my 2 gardening buddies, Louis and molly. Been on here before but couldnt resist. Nearly got me thrown off the allotment for invading other plots so now have to be tied up (not as much fun!)
Lilly P, Flossie stays until there is someone she can bark at and then goes haring down the garden barking all the way (she was going behind the studio and taking a short cut across the veg patch - so had to make little gate to stop that route - she instantly learnt how to open the gate so it is now very secure) I then go haring down the garden behind her brandishing a squeezy bottle of water shouting 'No barking' and 'in the house'. This eventually works, we do this several times each morning and it keeps us very fit

The Vigilante at the gate
Flossie-Flo, the terror of the area
Beaus mum, just the two dogs, quite enough but we do have the space,
dont know what got into them this morning but they went bonkers for ages,
Then asked me to join in, how could I refuse. Enjoy your garden buddies everyone!
