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.
How to Grow Poppy Plants: Poppy plants are very easy to grow. They prefer full sun to partial shade. They will grow well in many types of soils and tolerate dry spells well. Final spacing of plants should be 8 - 18, depending upon variety. The plants will grow 2- 2/12 feet tall. Poppies look superb planted together in big beds. Poppy will grow quickly and will bloom in early to mid summer. Fertilize them once a month to promote steady growth. Mulching around the plants will help to keep weeds down and make the bed more attractive.
