Now they don't look quite so stupid and I'm thinking that I planted them much too close together!

On the same day in May the chicks looked like this:

Now they're looking a lot more like hens:

Setting up home in a new country is going to be challenging. A bit like trying to cook a meal in someone else's kitchen. Maybe. This is a record of my experiences as I pack up my old life in England and start a new one in Ontario, Canada, with the aim of becoming more self-sufficient.

That is so funny. I did exactly the same thing with my tomatoes and ended up with a tomato jungle and lost a lot of fruit as a result. I am awful at estimating how big plants will get.
I love the sight of tomatoes... The distance is about right.... People are telling good stories of using red stakes or anything red at all, that somehow produce better tomatoes..

Wow- it all looks great! I am impressed with the growth and the chicks look great~
Impressive tomatoes .... and chicks!

Both are growing well though I think the tomatoes have the edge! I plant mine fairly close and depend on the coloured fruit to show themselves through the foliage. Works fine unless I'm growing a green variety.
