Mine are totally free range, but come spring they munch on all the best flowers in the garden! Do you have a problem with chickens eating your flowers, or do you keep them in?

I took Laura's class on the History of Gardens and was sooo fortunate to have visted so many of these gems in So Cal, including their own garden. Thank you for sharing these fantastic photos!

It was definitely a sociopath. The other chickens were innocently pecking around, but this one seemed to really have it in for me. I was nervous. I am thinking of chickens, too! I finally got Jan to agree, so I want to get a move on before he changes his mind. But I know nothing about them, and they intimidate me! You are a leg up on me, having been raised by chickens. I'm so glad this garden struck a chord, because I think it is a very special place. And there is so much more to see... I don't know the Hoja Santa! I'm going to look it up - I'm sure it will become my new favorite plant (as if I need one!) And we all know the secret of every cool garden - there are always rats. Somewhere... ssshhhhh... Julesschroom!!! Old pal! I remember when you first started commenting on the Domino blog you said that you remembered me from Garden Design and the Germinators ... we are all still around, but we only get together about once a year. Everybody is so busy, and I am the only one who didn't have kids, so busy really isn't the word. I don't know how they do it, because most of them have kids, dogs, AND beautiful gardens. I feel like such a slacker in comparison! Yes, this is the garden with the outdoor tub! Maybe I can get a shot of the three of us in it next time I visit ... FUN!!! ESP – you must KNOW this chicken.

I think I still have the magazine, too. (I'm a total magpie, and the only difference between me and Little Edie is that I am missing a few raccoons. I had these rogue morning glories that had grown through some cracks in my plaster and my ancient wall heater. I thought it looked kind of cool, but I cut them anyway.)

That chicken WAS giving you the stink eye! without a doubt... If looks could kill, that bird would be a feathered Ted Bundy. We are toying with the idea of a few urban chickens ourselves for the patch, figure it will buy a little more time before we are pressured to getting another dog, (we used to have two springers). I grew up around chickens, and occasionally my parents! What a great place and garden! I really enjoyed your tour through it, look forward to more. The Floss Silk tree is amazing! I now wonder what it looks like above the trunk? A trunk, that I must say, looks very Jurassic Park! It reminds me of the stalk on a Hoja Santa plant, (on a much larger scale naturally). The playhouse makes me want to convert my shed into something kid friendly, oh wait, the dead rats from last year! What am I thinking! I shudder to think what would crawl over you sleeping in my Texas shed, situated near my brush pile and compost bins! Brrrr (feels the slightest of knee twitches). ESP. Hi.
