| Chicken Runs with Garlic |
I’ve always like this picture of home-grown garlic, in the seedbed ready to plant, with happy free-range hens in the background. Really, there’s nothing like working in the garden with your own chickens nearby! Click on the picture to make it bigger—you can see Puzzle and the hens eating from the troughs, and that’s Acorn in the right-hand run beside the nest box. The doors are put up at the end to shade the nest box a bit. (What was all that talk about using tarps??)

Is that what garlic looks like when it's planted?
Yes, you just break apart a head of garlic and plant the individual cloves. Each one makes a whole head by the following summer.
Buckeye and Maple are on the left and Pepper's standing by Puzzle.
