Discovered a whole new way
Comment by janecoady, February 7, 2010 at 13:00Discovered a whole new way of gardening yesterday! As I was preparing virgin ground to become this years potato patch, I was joined by my 6 chickens. They got right to work in the freshly truned soil, it will be way easier to go back to after their efforts as their scratching was breaking up the soil and loosening the roots around the weeds. Now if I could just keep them where I need them to work, and stop them finding and digging up the fresh daffodil shoots!
Watched "Get Up and Grow" on
Comment by Anonymous, November 16, 2009 at 16:02Watched "Get Up and Grow" on Channel 358 CHEK last week and Phebee Noble(please excuse spelling) was on the show. She called one of her shrubs Carriage Japonica and said that it was in the rose family. It had beautiful double yellow flowers. I cannot find it on the internet. Would you be able to clarify this for me and tell me where I could purchase it. Love your show.
