As many of you know I have been using my friend Tammy’s pressure cooker to can some vegetables. So far I have canned 22 quarts of squash.
Our neighbor gave me a bucket of green beans since mine haven’t come in yet and my 82 year old mother-in-law helped me snap them.
Afterwards, I canned 6 quarts.
Here are some shots of our garden taken this week after it had rained. Vegetables still have to be picked, even if in the mud.
I also built a contraption for my youngest flock of hens to enjoy. I know hens prefer wood, but these shelf racks are like ladders to these girls. They love them!
Here is my very curious Ameraucana named Alice. Aren’t her little fluffy tuffs cute?
Today I’m linking with the lovely ladies below. Please click on their buttons below and see some other fun posts.
I love the shelving. You’re right, our slip and slide down their walk board even with the little cleats to grab.
I have some of those and wanted to use them but I was afraid they would get their feet or legs caught I’m them. Have you had any problems?
Hello there, I used this same shelving as a ladder in my Amazon purchase coop after the one that accompanied it initially kept falling off. To your question however, it works well and no issues noted thus far.

I love your blog, your garden and your inventive chicken ladders. May I pin some of your photos to Pinterest?
You have a great blog. I wish I had the room for chickens and a city that allowed them. One day…
