I'd love to come by sometime and check out your place.<br /><br /> If you are interested in chickens, I'm involved with the Arlington Egg Project to bring backyard hens back to Arlington. You can check out my Arlington urban garden on my facebook page: <br />https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1835249316494.2107398.1098271297&l=1828dba94b<br /><br />Take care!

We fight an annual battle with them just to keep them from totally taking over the entire yard (and side of house, and neighbor's yard...).K-Koirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933780350863090595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546718730043897500.post-83230783445510324232011-07-06T10:12:11.914-07:002011-07-06T10:12:11.914-07:00This is fantastic!

I have a small garden in by backyard except I have limited sunlight. I too have southern exposure but we have huge maple trees everywhere...too much shade can be a bad thing some times.
