Lots of work!

Spent most of the weekend out and about in the yard.  Spent Saturday working on the coup, added a bunch more straw after all of the wet weather we had.  Also moved a bunch of the branches around in the coup to allow the ladies to perch a little bit higher and enjoy the view!  Realized the old home owner was a bit of a pack rat and spent a lot of time cleaning in the coup storage and workshop area....so many egg cartons...so many buckets...
Also spent most of Sunday in the yard.  Lots to clean up as we move towards the warmer weather.  Finding the clearing out of the gardens to be a looonnnngggg task, especially clearing all the tomato plants.  Definitely have a lot to do...
Also after doing some reading online I've discovered that marigolds assist with a nice yellow yolk in the eggs, so since we have hundreds of marigolds planted around the gardens have started feeding the ladies some flowers with their veggies.  Also read online about dehydrating the flowers and adding them to the food in the winter...so, something else I have to find the time to do.  Anyone free on a weekend and want to help???  haha
Finally, have been looking into some winter care of our fruit bushes/plants, strawberries and raspberries.  So far have decided to cover the strawberries plants in about 6 inches of straw.  Struggling with finding suggestions to winter the raspberry bushes...any suggestions?
