The young Rowan and Crab apple appear to have survived( we did have to peg wire netting to the ground around the roots to stop them digging) The Dogwoods they leave alone once they are in full leaf, the best so far is a kind of ornamental bramble that grows as an arching shrub ..can't remember what it is called. It isn't at all rampant and quite pretty. I'm trying Zebra grass in one area hopefully to provide a little shelter from the wind. Comfrey they totally destroyed.<br /><br />Last year against the fence on the outside I grew nasturiums and sweet peas, these obviously grew inwards, aswell, the birds didn't bother with them at all. For the layers pen I need plants that provide shelter from the wind at the yard I need plants for shade, I'm still thinking about that one : )Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061568247987349580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299713479221745410.post-8294829922928165232010-04-15T22:45:32.655+01:002010-04-15T22:45:32.655+01:00do you recommend any particular trees or bushes th...do you recommend any particular trees or bushes that can stand up to hens?<br /><br />and what of Fred.. has he gone? did I miss that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
