A probably very dumb chicken question. I'm trying to figure it all myself, but I just got two chicken and... I have no idea how to get them back inside the coop. I can pet them and open the door, but what about when it rains, I've played enough Harvest Moon to know it isn't a good idea to keep them outside when it's raining.
The California poppy is commonly seen blooming in the spring and summer along country roads and freeways throughout much of the state, making this plant a highly recognizable symbol of California, and April 6 of each year is officially designated as California Poppy Day.
Fall is the prime time to grow broccoli and cauliflower in Southland gardens. Both love the bright days and cool nights of our autumn growing season. Gardeners new to our area often try to grow these vegetables in the spring--the traditional growing time in most of the rest of the country. This is a mistake in all but the coastal areas of Southern California, as spring-grown broccoli and cauliflower often do not have time to form proper heads before bolting to seed. Beginning this month, transplants for broccoli and cauliflower start showing up at local nurseries.
