What ever happened to my garden blog? It’s turned into a chicken pen blog, and for that I apologize. Unfortunately I’m semi-retired and have a lot of time to waste putzing with things that interest me, and gardens just don’t do much interesting when the ground’s frozen.
Seeing as I’m pretending to be a garden blogger, here’s that experimental pepper that I pruned spitting out new growth…
No surprise. I’m curious to see whether the plant actually bushes out, and then of course whether it bears well. So conclusions are a few months out.
And now the all too familiar pen picture. Attaching fence this way is repetitive work. And I’m ver-ry slowwwww. I suspect a carpenter worth his salt would have had this whole pen done in a weekend, maybe even a day. But if he was that good he wouldn’t be learning as much as I am.
i finished attaching wire to my 300 chick brooder. I used some 1/2 inch thick cedar boards I had milled for bracing and to line the top which required me to use your recommendation for the screw/washer attachment over staples so thank you!

I’m glad it worked for you! It was somebody else’s brilliant idea, so I was just passing it along.

I like your coop project too! Your plants are so hearty and strong. Mine look like wisps in comparison

Thank you Cynthia! And I’ve found that even your least-favorite seedlings can surprise you once they get outside. Don’t fret too much!

No worries here. I wish I could have chickens but the family wouldn’t go along. So I’m watching your coop saga with great interest.
