You just have steering wheel blindness. And yes I do own a horse, or can't you see that in the photo either. Very pleased to hear you are starting a garden. 3 months from now puts you at the start of spring, perfect time to start.<br /><br /><b>foodnstuff</b> yes the design does call for a close to flat area. You don't happen to live in Tasmania do you? My parents live there and they own one of the only flat spots around. The catch, it floods in winter. And yes, the mandala and chook dome are a match made in heaven.<br /><br /><b>celia</b> the girls are commuting for now, the roost and roof is to come. They will still live most of the year in the big pen just to give them a bit more room.<br /><br /><b>muddytoes</b> best you have ever seen. Now that is a compliment.

Do you even own a horse? :-)<br /><br />(sorry just had to comment on the way you were holding your invisible steering wheel. quite comical. Once again am loving your garden, the ideas and especially this blog.
