Miscellaneous pots and containers. See the pile of abandoned leaves we never managed to remove this spring? That's what invited the chicken-scratching trouble.
Full of vines that are going to need support soon.
The box that started it all. It's this great old trough-type thing I got at a barn sale once, and have tried to plant before near the house, with little success. Newly-drilled drainage holes and a new spot on this driveway, and it's now full of happy-looking bean plants. Once it was in the driveway, all lonely and small-looking, it needed some company.
I'm happy with my new labels. So far, everything I've tried has become illegible over the summer. But this time I used my new-favorite paint pens (thanks, Carol!) on some beach rocks, and so far, so good!
Returning to the chicken coop, I found no eggs for the day. Uh, oh. What other trouble have you ladies been up to today?
Found them in the herb garden, in the trampled echinacea. Oh, well. I love them all the same.

Oh--chickens and gardens! If they could just nibble it would be great, but the little buggers are PIGS! :)
Hi there. Thanks for commenting about my little fox. I love all the gardening goodies you have on display here! x Maribeth
chickens...ours no longer 'free' range our yard for their destructive tendencies. stinkers!
At least your chickens leave eggs behind. My pest are chipmunks and deers and they leave nothing ;o)
I just love that you have done so much here with containers. This is very inspiring to me for next years garden :)
your garden is coming along great! Love the plant labels- cool idea!
Chickens and garden...sigh. Ours keep jumping/flying over the low fence across the back of the garden ..guess I need a higher one. They do seem more interested in the sunflower seeds that have dropped from a bird feeder inside the garden but not always!
happy day!
