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.
Outdoor Poppy Culture. Poppies of all varieties are cool-weather plants that bloom in late spring and early summer when temperatures are mild. Sow seeds or plant poppy seedlings in well-drained, evenly moist soil in full sunlight -- at least six hours a day, though 12 hours is ideal. The same light conditions necessary for germination carry over to their active growth stage. Once germinated, the plants put down deep taproots that help sustain them when they go dormant in the heat of summer.
