After a cold and rainy start of spring, finally the beans are sprouting. We also have a bunch of tomatoes and brassicae.

Let's hope the abundant snails don't take too much.

They mostly took some young salads. But we try to pick em up all the time and feed them to the chicken.

It's fava/broad beans in front and green beans in the back left of the picture.

I gotta get out of the burbs. I saw a video once where someone made their garden inside a fence inside their chicken run. Kept calling it a "chicken moat" and ever since I've wanted poultry-based fortifications

Hehe, yeah why not. I'll soon try what the chicken does when I let it run on the beds. We just got one recently and will get at least one or two more soon.
