Home growing and backyard chickens

[Grayman]

Last year I bought my first home and started growing my own produce which I am starting to harvest now. We also have three egg layers (getting chickens was one of the best things I've ever done.)

My vegetable planter and herbs. The plastic trough is a plastic garden chest from b&q (around £20.)

The chicken enclosure and our greenhouse with organic tomatoes.



Let's see yours!

Nice set up. One of my more technically able colleagues may move this post to the food and nutrition section. Do not be alarmed if they do.

I'd love to get chooks, we're in a new build so the garden is a bit on the small side and its actually in our deeds that we're not allowed them. Having said that, we're only allowed 1 cat or dog I think, we've got 2 of each so we laugh in the face of rules and regulations, mwah hah hah.

Good crop of tomatoes there.
I must upload my project greenhouse and its current crop of toms and peppers.

Nice chickens.

Thats gorgeous! Good for you for getting stuck in so soon after moving

Thanks guys and apologies for posting in the wrong section.

It's my dream to have a small holding to increase the amount I can grow and keep some livestock, we shall be looking for somewhere new in a few years time so fingers crossed I can find something more suitable. Until then I am just trying to gain some knowledge and experience where possible .

I had 2 hens for 2 of us, and really enjoyed them. Gave me a reason to get up in the morning lol and somewhere to put any slugs and worms I found. I miss them still
