Next season I'll have potted tomatoes in there. Things like pumpkins still sprawl across the yard. I'm considering a small, relocatable chicken coop and two or three Isa Brown laying hens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISA_Brown) - be interesting to see how Denny adapts to those. Have had my strawberries in tiered pots for several seasons now.JohnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608216150220329902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-42430104388702802452012-03-02T18:55:50.716+00:002012-03-02T18:55:50.716+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.JohnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608216150220329902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-44523044691493769492012-03-02T18:09:22.771+00:002012-03-02T18:09:22.771+00:00Our soil is saturated with water just now, but rea...Our soil is saturated with water just now, but really looking forward to getting the garden in.
