I am guilty of wanting to rush Spring here but having our new home & garden has me itching to get the picket fence finished, the old Garden roses planted and our chickens to follow me through the garden as I dhand feed them with little crickets from beneth the stepping stones. But you are right.

I've tried in the past, but it seems the birds got to the berries before they ripened, so we didn't get many. But, I am thinking of doing some landscaping after we put the pool in this summer, so I may try again.Patty Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02963555227831970190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-12664151629286495102011-01-09T23:31:53.933-06:002011-01-09T23:31:53.933-06:00Hey Chicken lady, I love your new profile picture....Hey Chicken lady, I love your new profile picture.

Haven't looked at a seed catalog (need to soon, as my favorite zinnia seeds were all sold out by the time I got to it last year), and your winter pictures are every bit as pretty to me as your summer ones, so that's a sure sign that I'm fever free.<br />Bye-bye, Jaymes!
