Ok. Ok, ya got me! I have Calendula and Nasturtium growing in the chicken coop, which, strictly speaking, is not the garden. We have the plants under a wire cage that we lift a few times a week to let the chucks feast.

Great idea! I wanted to do that back in the day when I had chix, but never got around to it. Why did you choose those two?

You have ZERO flowers that you planted just for enjoyment? I don't think I could live like that. You must grow medicinals for yourself, no?

Those 2 because my neighbour used to keep chucks and told me they loved them and no, to my shame no medicinals for myself. I intend to get around to it next year though along with two thousand five hundred and sixty one other projects I have in the pipeline:)

Calendula is a #1 medicinal I wouldn't live without, so you've got that already. Down one, to 560.

Have you any plans to head to Acapulco this winter?

I'm anxious to get there but what to do with the animals? I'm afraid to get pet sitters after my mad brother chased away my friend last year. It's a conundrum.
