    What’s going on, y’all?! Jason here at Cog Hill Farm, and we are finally starting a project we've been putting off for way too long - our Backyard Kitchen Garden, or as we call it, the Alabama Potager Garden! 🏡🌱
    In this video, we’re planning and prepping the layout of the garden, fencing, and more. This is going to be one of our biggest projects since the pasture fencing! We're not stopping until it’s finished, no matter how long it takes.
    We’ve made a few changes along the way, like including the greenhouse in the fenced area to keep the dogs out, and we’re thinking about bringing in some Silkies to roam around once the garden is done. Should we hatch more chickens or buy hens? Let us know what you think!
    Plus, we’re adding a beautiful wrought iron gate at the front for a stunning entrance. We're also setting up raised beds and laying out posts for the fence. Stay tuned as we dive into this massive project and give you a tour of our progress!
    Don’t forget to check out our latest fall collection of Cog Hill Farm gear on our website!

    Jason, time for your school assignment, go to the history of the Japanese. The castles, shrines that were built thousands of years ago, had their logs buried in ground were burnt. As far as you forgetting your tools? open your wallet (Jack Benny) and get a small box for tool to leave in the side by side (it does not come out) and buy tape, big screwdriver, fence tool, knife, and other small items so you don't waste all your time going back again. Get a carpenter apron, nothing fancy but pockets.

    Aw, it ended. I wasn't expecting it to. I was ready for some fencing to go down. This is going to look so good. I suggest make sure to put in plenty of gates - at least one of every stretch. Remember how you wish you had put in more on the first pastures. The animal clips were adorable. Moody resting his big old head on Mildred was extra special.

    My Silkies do a lot more scratching in the ground than my other chickens do. The Silkie side bedding is all fluffed up, but the other chickens side, 2 Easter Egger hens & 2 Roos bedding is all flattened. But my Silkies anyway don't tend to hop up higher than 6" so they might not get in your raised beds! Silkies = perfect chickens! 😊
