As we consider our garden to be survival insurance against the politicians who seem to be are actively trying to destroy our country and way of life and plant accordingly.
A lot of greens, squash, berries, potato's, beans, tomato's etc. We also have common fruit trees for Texas. Peaches, plums, mangos , avocados, pecan and walnut trees.
My wife keeps wanting to get chickens both for the meat and the eggs but I'm not crazy about the idea although from a survival standpoint She's right about having them
I was raised on a farm and have butchered and cleaned about 5 gazillion chickens in my lifetime, and they are nasty, messy birds to have around.

Lucky-you must have been keeping them in a way that was not fitting for the environment(many farms do and people tend to copy farming),a friend had some that actually helped weed and de pest,think they used moveable pens,so they also fertilise areas without poisoning ground and waterways.

It's the madness I see in big farming that filters down to smaller poultry/animal keepers ,they have thousands confined where their waste poisons the waterways,importing feed that they don't know what is in it. Chickens will eat young weeds and farm/garden pests and their waste should be a great fertiliser,some keepers build up from that.One farm has just spent a fortune on a machine for processing the waste.I am sure they will be a joy to keep Lucky if you ignore how the big concerns do it and check out some old tried and tested methods.

My young sunflowers blooming.
The cherry tomatoes are making their first flowers too!
The sunflowers have visitors every day, there is a few wild bees coming and collecting pollen. :)

We have a silver birch tree and a small conifer of some sort. With needles instead of leaves.
Otherwise we have a Peony, a hydrangea, a laurel, a camelia, a hebe, a delphinium, a mini rose, an alpine pine, plus lots of annuals and a few perennials.
