Colette's Garden (& Chickens)

You're a good part of the fun here Coco! And you even garden!

Today's work wasn't exactly in the garden, although I did pick my first yellow squash today!! (Yay)

The project for today was adding the nest boxes to the chicken coop!
Got some of it done, but a thunderstorm stopped the progress!
Will finish tomorrow hopefully!

Nice coop Coco! Is it built high because of flooding?

Thank you!

No, they were "Cajun Style" playhouses that we built for the kids when they were little. There is still monkey bars in between the two houses & there used to be a rock wall down the side of one & and a slide out the side of the other. But...it's been so many years now since they have actually been played in.....so I decided to turn them into chicken coops with a run in between. I love how it turned out, it's a perfect place for my chickees, & I think they love it too

Your garden is looking good! I had 3 year old bell peppers and they produced nice peppers. Your's probably needs some help, compost it and mulch it. Cute chicken coops!

Well that was a great way to repurpose them! I notice a chair in the pen. Do you sit with them?
I used to have a chair in my chicken pen and I would sit and visit with the girls, and the very friendly ones would hop up on my lap. I can't believe I had the time to do that. Must have been before I got a laptop.
