RE: Looking Back at June and the Garden Progress.
Excellent looking garden. Not much goes to waste with chickens. I had a raspberry patch in my orchard where my chickens have a very large area to roam. They kept the raspberry patch clean of weeds except for some catnip. They ate a few berries but i still got a nice harvest.
I am just getting the last of my warm weather crops in, in that our summer is just beginning; the opposite of your area. I am behind on weeding but now that most of the planting is done I can focus on that.
everything looks great. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you.
I'd love to grow raspberries. They struggle here, though and I think my chickens would eat the whole plant if I had it in the run! They don't always get much green foods, particular in summer, so they go crazy for it.
Everything's growing so we'll, now, that I'm weeding as I plant in some places. I want to get on top of finishing all the plantings. Hope you get yours finished soon. It often takes longer than you expect, doesn't it?

Yes it does take a lot longer than expected. I have cut my garden in half over the last few years and it still takes a lot of time.
When greens are not available for chickens I grow trays of wheat or barley grass and let them have the tray to enjoy. I also save lawn clippings, drying them, and storing them in garbage can...giving out a little every couple days.
