Comments (6)I'm in Newport News, and if I had to list favorites (excluding books on specific genera and species), I'd choose "Garden Bulbs for the South" by Scott Ogden (be sure to get the newer edition - it's been greatly expanded), anything written by Pamela Harper, especially "Time Tested Plants" (she lives and gardens in Seaford), and the website/catalog of Plant Delights Nursery in Raleigh. The last one isn't technically a book, but it's one of the best sources of things that will grow here and info on how to grow them....See MoreGaren's Garden 2015
Comments (22)Thank you! Thank you! Lu lu is a tiny silver sebright chicken. Yeah, the chickens and the dogs hang out together. They even eat snacks together and drink from the same water bowls at the same time. I integrated them slowly until the chickens simply became fixtures in the yard and part of the pack. For a long time the dogs would only see the chickens through the chicken run fence. Once the dogs no longer showed interest in the chickens I brought them out together except the dogs were on a leash. The key is to get the dogs completely uninterested in the chickens. If the dog was interested in the chickens then I would walk the dog away until they were no longer alert on them. Then bring them closer only if they weren't interested until I could walk them right with the chickens. Every time the dog would so much as raise an ear or look at the chickens I would tell them no. I would hold the chickens and interact with them in front of the dogs to let them know that the chickens are part of the pack. I would even bring our rooster, Cluck Norris, into the house on a regular basis to hang out with us. I think that really helped. Norris would even play hide n seek with us lol. I have wood and tile floors so picking up a chicken poop every once in a while is no prob. They even make chicken diapers. There is nothing like the taste of happy chicken eggs for breakfast every morning. Not to mention using the eggs to make fresh homemade mayonnaise made with coconut/MCT oil. I can't even eat non free range, sad chicken eggs from the store anymore. There is no comparison. It's like tasting a home grown heirloom tomato compared to the tasteless store bought tomatoes. These little friends have so much personality and beauty to offer if you simply get to know them and spend time with them. If you get a rooster you must hand raise it from a chick, take it for walks everyday like a dog to bond, and you'll be best buds. Otherwise you'll have a mean rooster that just wants to beat the crap out of you. Norris, Wonton, and the wife...See MoreGarden Club of Spring Lake Annual Seaside Garden Tour 2016
