I made today my garden ready for winter - outside is already under zero. Washed pots, raked last leaves from ground and said goodbye to last rose bean.

:statisfie

But new spring will comes some day, insh Allah.
 
Greetings,

Some pics from my previous flower garden:

(I now live in an apartment.
This thread reminds me of how i really miss having a garden : ( )
 
I'll be honest, my garden has turned it self into a jungle, we've not done the lawn for the past 2 months and the grass has gown up to the size of a wheat field! Its crazy but I dont blame my parents, its a rented house and since we don't use the garden, there is no point really.
 
SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW on my garden.

 
No way!!

I managed to pick our last raspberries today - we may be getting our first frost tonight ...
 
My garden is more north than yours, Glo. But you can borrow my shovel if needed.

:heated: I Hate Snow!

SubhanAllah.

I live more to the south sis harb : ), and when we get snow - it makes the headlines : )

Our last heavy snowfall was a few months ago (since 2007.....and before this, we had seen snow in 1981! There are parts of the country that does get annual light snow showers though).

Its kinda strange to see lions in the middle of snow : )

Alhamdulillah, Allah knows that we cannot always have sunshine (both in our lives and in this dunya as well)......

But if possible, you guys can move down south where we enjoy sunny skies and blue oceans for most of the year : )
SubhanAllah.

... and what, may I ask, will you do with a lion? This reminds me of the movie 'The Lion King' and that I have been called 'Mufasa', who was the father of 'Simba' in that animated movie.

I think that a lion is much better to keep burglars away than even a big dog.

;D Or then it just eats them...
 
I haven't posted for while, but I'd like to share our news from our garden with you.
Here are the girls:

That one who is the most adventurous an brave than the others might be Agatha (Christie).

Glad you're back dearest glo!:statisfie

Any suggestions from your family, glo?

Great suggestions.
I think we are waiting until we get to know the ladies and their characters. Then finding names might come naturally ...
 
i planted some orange seeds. i can't wait until they grow - in-sha-Allah. i'm so excited!!!!!
 
What breed of chicken are those? I am guessing you don't have a rooster since you live in the city.

God willing, next weekend we will get 6 new chicks of Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. http://www.foleyswaterfowl.com/blrwyandotte.htm Perhaps I will thin out our flock of 23 this weekend and have some chicken and dumplings. Home raised chickens have a more distinct flavor than the bland ones from the market.

These are Ranger hens - a cross between a Rhode Island Red and White Hybrid Chicken. No, no rooster ... we didn't want to push our luck with the neighbours! lol

I always love to see pictures of your chickens on Barbara's page. Do you slaughter hens for eating once their egg laying drops?
