Payne or anyone else for that matter.......
What do you use to kill ant beds that won't hurt the chickens? I've got several ant beds around my chicken coop and garden and I'm afraid to use anything that would harm the chickens or contaminate the eggs.

Don't use over & out around your coop/chickens or garden, it's bad for both.
You can plant mint around them, it won't kill the ants but it will repeal them.

random question but kinda related. Are eggs from yard birds better than the grocery store just like produce is better than what you buy?

How big is that bed phat?
I've got two 2x6 beds that I'm trying to figure it what to it in them.
Thinking of doing three tomato plants in one and then a couple bell peppers, jalapeņo and not sure what else in the other.
How hard is spinach and broccoli to grow?
This is my first garden attempt

Spinach and broccoli do better in the fall.
Do you like green beans, okra or squash?
You could do carrots around the edges.

We used to get quite a few double yolk eggs from my grandmothers chickens. Maybe the rooster was the reason why. For reasons that I don't remember, she did not sell them.

Looking good Payne! I noticed today that my little orange trees are freakin' loaded with baby oranges (BB to pea size). The trees are only 3-4 ft high though. I don't have a lot of experience with fruit trees yet, looks like those small limbs will snap once the fruit gets to size. Thinking of pinching off a bunch of them but not sure?....

Jase, if you wanna come over and look at my setup, let me know.
All my greens I put in back in early feb. thanks FF, the onions I planted from sets in dec (I think).
Like bill said the broc, sprouts and spinach do better in the fall. I got the broccoli and brussel sprout for $2 for a little 9 pack and figured what the hay.
Payne the melons are sugar babies I think. This is the first year for Fruits. I also have squash and cucumbers I need to plant somewhere.
