They are all Hibiscus Bushes, as I just love this plant!! It is by far my favorite!! Not to mention they stand up well against chickens!:D

as lovely as that sounds, I had some in another flower bed, and well lets just say, the chickens ate good one day!:rolleyes: I have given up on regular plants, I am all about chicken resistant bushes!:D

LMAO!

My uncle had chickens, they never bothered the daffys. (Though he had fairly strict limits on their wanderings)

Yeah this is the price I pay for Insisting on having free-Range birds!:rolleyes: But a happy bird is a healthy bird!;)

great pics and great flower bed!!
I got bit by the flower bug (finally) this year. My dad said I might inherit my grandma's green thumb yet - hopefully not my mom's selective brown one ;) My grandma is watching over me up in heaven so I'm sure that she'll help them grow!
I didn't have to make any beds but some of the ones I do have had to be worked up - my mom came over a few weeks ago and we worked from 2pm till about 8pm!!!
