Winter Gardening: Snow, Chickens, and Allotment Chores

[@myrustygarden]

Oh my giddy aunt ⛄️⛄️⛄️. Here it’s snowing up the mountains 🏔️ it rain at our house. Snow is lovely it it can be quite weighty on the netting. Shame about the bedding mess Helen 🤦‍♀️. You’re a good chicken mom though making sure they are ok. Have a great day, stay safe and keep warm, Ali 🌧️🥶🇨🇦

Thanks, Ali ☺️. Yup, snow and netting isn't the best. It's beautiful, though. But this week it's so cold. And the wind will pick up this week. It's been a while since we've had such a cold autumn. Great to reduce the whitefly, though ☺️

@ it is always my hope extreme cold kills off stuff but some of the bugs and grubs I think wear sweaters and bobble hats 🤣🤣

Chickens can be such pains. We had an apenzella which rooted in the tree nd would wake up singing to the world at 3am during the summer! We couldn't hear them but very noisy for our neighbours. 😂😂😂

They don't always comply with what we want for them, do they 😂😂. I've got over trying make them go in.. after 8 weeks trying I gave up 😅.

I can’t believe how much snow you’ve got. Whereabouts in the UK are you? I’m in Yorkshire and we were supposed/forecast to be the “epicentre “ for a massive snowfall but it was pathetic what we got. I had my granddaughter overnight with plans to take her sledging

North Worcestershire. We weren't expecting much at all. Was surprised. Thankfully, it only lasted the day. I think we may get more before the end of next week

I know this is random but whats the GSM of the green tarp you have used om the chicken run? Has it lasted long? Im just looking to buy some now.

[@oddsocksgrowing]

No idea. Wasn't the thickest to be honest. Hopefully last through the winter. But I may get a much thicker one in the future 👍
