Talkback: Adopting hens

and they were clucking, scratching up grubs & laying eggs. The drawback was that they were in love with us and came running up whenever we appeared. If we sat down on the grass they sat with us (and on us) no peace for the wicked! What a joy they are. [Flora May by Brownbunny

weeds!

first I ended up in a Wheelchair (I have ME/CFS), so ANY gardening was out of the question. Hence the wilderness I need to tackle now! I daisy grub as many weeds as I can be bothered to get every autumn and replace them with bulbs. Gives nice colours by gab82
