Wow! What a difference a year makes. When you replace the fence consider replacing the poles with metal. I replaced all my wood posts with metal and don’t regret it. There are brackets that clamp on the post that the panel attaches to. Y’all have accomplished so much this year.

Janie, your silkies probably won’t lay until they are at least 6 months old or older……and because egg laying is regulated by sunlight hours, you might not get eggs until spring. But don’t despair, it will happen and it will be worth it!! And of all of my chickens, my silkies have been the sweetest and most friendly.
@nancyanderson33126 күн бұрын
You may want to reconsider the type of grass you would like to put in. I'm sure Monty is going to be using it to do his Poo and that is extremely hard to clean off of the longer grass and because of that it will smell and attract flys. A shorter lawn cleans much easier and mowing will remove the stuck on debris. I'm just saying...

To encourage egg laying for your chickens - make sure access to oyster shell, start transitioning them from your starter feed to layer feed. You can put a few fake ceramic eggs in your nesting boxes to (they look super real so mark with tiny dot so you don’t pick up by accident, my kids and I did that a few times)

In your secret shade garden where it’s more sunny you could put ivory halo dogwood shrubs on both sides of fountain. They have the white & green variegated leaves. They are so pretty! Another option could be a shorter sun loving grass. Then move the hostas to a more shadier location in that area.

This might help you buy time for your fence: I used 2 long metal spikes driven into the ground at an angle several feet in front of our fence posts where it leaned away. I had a helper pull the panel upright and then we attached 1/8-inch coated cable wire (airplane wire) and wrapped the wire around and behind the top of the two posts and the fence panel. Then we secured the wire to the spikes with a crimper that crushed down on the metal clamps and turnbuckles. It pulled the panels back into an upright position. I did that for every other panel that needed it.

Oh Janey! As much as I LOVE my Crepe Myrtle’s - keep in mind how messy they are.

What an amazing change in just one year. You two are such hard workers! I would suggest you reconsider gravel around the raised beds; plant debris and soil will constantly be falling onto the gravel and needing to be cleaned off, where that all blends into the mulch. Then again, I suppose you need to consider fire concerns, so perhaps there's a non flammable organic mulch option.

The soil in our former vineyard is good, but hadn't been worked for a while. So, when we started planting, amending, mulching and watering there was an explosion of very aggressive weeds. Bind weed is the worst! We've spread acres of arborist wood chips but the weeds just keep coming. It doesn't seem to matter whether or not we layer cardboard first or how we water (overhead sprinklers, perforated drip tubes, targeted drip emitters, or no summer water at all.) So I really admire how weed-free your acre appears and wonder how you do it!?!. Your garden is looking great.
