I like your style. We grow a few things in our garden. We got a lot of strawberries this summer, plus a load of herbs and root vegetables. We've also got sweetcorn on the go at the moment but not sure if it's getting enough sun. Now we're contemplating getting a few chickens. Girlfriend really wants them and I'm coming round to the idea. Nothing like eating your own produce.
I don't have chickens, but was thinking of get a dozen or so. I have a coop, but need fence. How tall is your corn and is it tasseling? Once corn tassels it can grow another 1' to 2'. My corn is short because we didn't have any rain for a while, but it's about 5' tall with tassels and ears just started forming. Not a great season for corn where I live, but should be ok.
My garden started out about 15x20 and grew to 40x20. I ran out of room and dug another 10x20. The herb garden is only 10x10. I have my corn growing in my neighbors corn field. He's Amish and runs a dairy farm. So I get free milk and butter in exchange for rides. I also get plenty of free manure. LOL
