Hey, you're a chicken mommy! That's actually really fun. It will be a great experience for your kids to raise food from farm to table (meaning eggs, not the chickens!)

It is already so much fun for me and the rest of the family. I can't wait till these girls all three get along so we can move on from this stage, but yes, farm to table (for the eggs) is amazing!!! :)
I think next summer I'm going to have to sacrifice a flower garden for a vegetable garden. I just miss that farm to table aspect too much. There's something awesome about raising your veggies and cooking, canning, etc. Chickens would be even more fun!
Maybe do a combo flower-veggie garden?? I put some marigolds among my veggies and herbs to attract pollinators and they added some color to the otherwise green garden- next year I will probably do more flowers in the veggie beds!
Definitely something to think about! I have dahlias from my mom that I usually plant in the only bed that gets sun. But I bet I could find other places for those tall suckers. They fall over every year anyway!
