I'm thinking now that I've had a few warm days to watch the run river run, past my door (wasn't there an old Loggins & Messina song about that?? ) that Anise Hyssop would probably naturalize easily on this property.

I used Chicken Tractors all the time on the farm.

But no, nothing of the kind where we are now.
All the poultry, hogs and horses are gone. The only critters in the backyard are canines, cats and rodents with busy tails. Remember that thread we had a few years back on another forum, where Lav contributed her neighbours Squirrel Stew recipe? I just might have to go scare that one up, LOL
