I spent hours in the garden today. The weather was so nice! I planted over 70 pots of seeds. There is green, yellow and green and white zucchini, Chinese cucumber, spaghetti squash, orange mini peppers, black bell pepper, brandy wine pink tomato, Rio Grand tomato, bush beans, and a half dozen variety of flowers (annuals). I'm now out of pots. In 6 weeks I should have a pretty nice garden. I already have onions, radishes, chives and 32 lettuce plants. I will plant carrots and spinach directly into the raised beds tomorrow. Oh the things I could do if only my yard was bigger! I will have loads of plants started to bring to my friend Petra. Thank God she is letting me borrow some of her yard! I’m so tired I could go to bed without dinner! I'm so glad to see the sun!
Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

I'm like our cat I get fat in the winter, and smaller in the summer.
