There is one area of our backyard that has served many different functions over the years. Long before we lived here it was covered by a pool cabana I'm sure seeing it's fair share of action. But since the pool was filled it when we bought the house we used part of the cabana to house our first chicken coop with the hens living in one of the changing rooms. Later we built the girls a proper coop and tore down the old cabana and chicken coop and fenced off the area to become our kitchen garden. We grew some award winning pumpkins in the area the chickens had so gracious & copiously fertilized for us. For some reason no matter how much compost and soil amendment we added, we could never get the other half to match the chicken fertilized half. As of a few months ago, we decided to do more container gardening and use the space for something else...what came out of that decision was a gorgeous deck! Kerry did an amazing job and I love it! Now we just need to work on getting the pavers around it a little more level... what will we ever do when all the projects are done?
