Discover the Fun of Gardening The Kerby's E-Newsletter for April 27, 2017 |
So we jumped into a new endeavor at home this week (because, you know, we didn't think we had enough to do). . . Chickens. On Easter at my father's house, a few newly-hatched chicks were in need of a home. Kim and I have talked about having a few chickens (fresh eggs are so tasty), but we'd never taken the leap to actually raising chickens. But pretty soon, we volunteered to be the adoptive grandparents (Abby and Maddy are their mommies) to 4 cute little chicks. The girls love them, and so far have had fun feeding them, cleaning the coop and changing their water. We'll see how long it remains exciting. On the downside, the girl's sandbox became an impromptu chicken coop. But for some reason, they think that's even better - now they get to play in the sand with the chickens. This morning, we let the chickens out for the first time into the yard, and they had a great time foraging a bit, and they found a perfect spot under our mulberry tree for a dust bath. So far the chickens have been a learning experience for all of us.

Neon Pink Bottlebrush Everyone is familiar with the bottlebrush tree. It can be a big bush or a small ornamental tree. It loves the sun and is drought tolerant. But did you know that it is one of the best attractors for bees! Plus at Kerby's now, we have a unique variety of bottlebrush that has a pink flower. A great addition to your pollinator garden. |
