How much is enough?

We have a local market twice a week and the stall holders are more than happy to give me the trimmings from the cabbages and cauliflowers.

Thats the beauty of having an allotment full of brassicas! I'm even growing some especially for the chooks this year!

Me too! Have mega amounts of kale broccoli and cabbages already sprouting. I'm lucky enough to have the only chooks on our site so also get everyone else's surplus stuff! Mine love cucumber and courgettes and marrows, all of which I like to grow but only like eating the cucumbers so they get all of the others!

I haven't got a lottie and since getting the girls there's not much left growing in the garden.

If I hadn't got loads of moveable posts and chicken wire on my lottie, I wouldn't have anything left either as the girls like to free range when I'm there and I can't deny them anything!

hello,

well its nice to know there are others posting who love their girls like I love mine. I hang caulis up so they are fun to peck at as they swing. My OH and son don't like cauliflower and wonder why I grow it but me girls just love pecking at the florets.
