Where did you think she was from? Now I'm curious, lol!

Welcome from NH. I am a terrible gardener so no advice from me, but glad to have you here!

Lol nope, she would freeze to death in MN. It's colder there than it is here!

Just beware of weed seeds in hay... straw doesn't usually have seeds. But, truth is, I've never used straw - not readily available here.

Hi :)
My biggest problem with raised beds is what to make them of. We have termites so wood is not an option and finding scrap is very difficult. Majority of people in this area will pay someone to take it away unless it's a private person then they want you to buy it! Or they take it to the dump which we cannot scavenge from.

Zone 6B or 7 can't decide
Wife's "pretty" rhoad island red / buff orpengton crossed rooster. Notice his long spurs and hooked top beak and his eyes are even red. This guy is not really what you want in with the layers. He's rough on the girls, but my wife would not be happy with me, if I put him in the pot. He's her pretty rooster!

He is pretty but I do not tolerate roos that are rough on hens. He'd be great in soup.
