Wash out

We’ve been getting quite the down pours this spring. We had 2.5 inches last night. Last night.

New rain gauge filled with last night’s rain

I had already decided that the garden in the middle chicken run wasn’t going to work (mainly because it is quite shady in spring), and had moved the basil plants to pots. Last night’s rain finished washing away the garden area.

So now the plan is to sow some rye for the chickens and to help hold the soil. We’ll see how that goes.

On the chicks side, it seems Cloud would rather be an arm chicken.
