Garden project from a couple of years ago, which is getting a bit of a revamp. I had a few bits of large, squarish stone knocking about - and no clients' gardens to immediately use them in - so dropped a sunken seating area into my own garden.

The obvious firepit is an old lorry wheel that got washed up on the beach, and rolled/dragged half a mile back to the car. We have so many firepit devices, though, that I turned it into a planter for orange/red coloured flowers (none of the photos of which survived a PC failure).

The chickens have largely turned it into a fort, so I'm planning a surprise diversion (mainly sweetcorn at the other end of the garden) to reclaim it. This may be an ongoing battle of wills.

A picture looking down into a trapezoid-shaped sunken area, about 18 inches deep and lined with stone walls. The tops of the walls are large flat stones, for sitting on. In one corner (far right), a big clump of Hart's tongue ferns is growing out of the wall, and in the near left corner an old lorry wheel has been set on its side and filled with soil. The base of the area is filled with brown pea gravel.
A picture of the same area, but taken from another side. Essentially, the photo is of the same things.

Hey all, I've had an account here for almost 2 months and I've spent waaay too long procrastinating on my #Introduction post. I feel that I should make one before getting down to normal posting! 😆 Anyway..

I'm Peter (or PJ) from the UK. I'm in to gaming (#PC, #Nintendo, #Playstation, #Retro, you name it!), #Baking (sourdough, yay!), #Formula1 (Go McLaren & Ferrari!). I'm also interested in #HeavyMetal, #Tech, #Photography & #Chickens

I look forward to finally posting with you all! 👋

@AkaSci #Trump blames #Eggprices on killing chickens. But #chickens w #birdflu do not produce eggs, infect more chickens, who then also do not produce eggs, but only keep increasing the population of infected birds that don't lay eggs while costing farmers for feed and care they can't afford w no egg sales income. The answer is to defeat bird flu, however slow that will be. Raising chickens to be infected at home doesn't work where it is prohibited (my neighborhood) or for apartment dwellers.

Buffy the Egg Layer is living up to her title. Breakfast this morning included a double yolker she laid the other day. Photos of breakfast and the great egg layer and half the flock enjoying some rewarding grain and seed mix.

BBC: The European towns that give away free chickens

"...The project had been in the works for some time. The then-president of Colmar Agglomération (a role similar to a mayor), Gilbert Meyer, had been reelected in 2014 with the slogan "one family, one hen", which aimed to encourage residents to adopt a chicken..."
