Here is our Pink Chicken Coop that we did ourselves. We built it in 2019. Nick built it and the kids and I painted it. He came up with the plans, after showing him some I liked, and built it. Then Brichette painted the Sunflower 🌻 and bee 🐝 on it for me. It wasn’t very hard to build and didn’t cost much. I love it so much!  We added party lights and pink lights for the night. 🤩

Urban Farming

For a couple years now we have been trying to grow 🌱some of our own food. We get really excited and then get overwhelmed when the bugs 🐛 🐜🐌 start eating everything.

We also planted different flowers 🌸🌻🌼🌹 to help repel them.  One of Zain’s friend’s parents had an amazing urban farm (follow them on Instagram @urbanmannfarm). They moved to a house with a bigger yard, but we haven’t seen it yet. It’s probably even better! Anyway she introduced us to the seed swap.

Benefits of Hollyhock Flowers These are the colors of our Hollyhocks this year! Aren’t they just beautiful?  I’m hoping that the black ones I got will come up next year. Here are some facts about hollyhocks: 🌸  They are biennial flowers. So the first year they root and get lots of foliage. The second year they flower, then seed and die. 🌸 They can reach 9 feet tall. 🌸 There are 60 species of them. 🌸 They like rich, moist, well drained soil. 🌸 They are native to Asia and Europe 🌸 There are 43 different colors. 🌸 They are completely edible (flowers, roots, leaves, seeds) 🌸 They are directly related to Marshmallow and can be used interchangeably for that herb. 🌸 The flowers can be used to sooth dry skin. 🌸 The leaves can be used like spinach. ✖️ Please Note ✖️ I am not a doctor, nor do I claim to be. I am posting this for information purposes. I just have been researching flowers and their benefits because I feel Heavenly Father has put everything on the earth for a rea...
