What's up everyone Kevin from Epic Gardening here? We're back again with Ancoa of

real hens of O.C. Orange County on Instagram and the author of the Beginners Guide to Raising Chickens

how to raise a happy backyard flock. Now today we are going to extend our

conversation from yesterday. We were talking about front yard veggie gardens and you know winning over

neighbors and then some of our personal techniques for making those front yard gardens maybe

a bit more aesthetic or a bit more diverse than the traditional

veggie garden and so Anne has a bunch of her favorite perennials and

semi-perenial veggies so and I figured what we could do is maybe get a quick hot take on some of these that that you've listed here

but it is an awesome awesome plant it beads you year round and your chickens year round.

Chickens love it by the way if you need it even growing it for fodder if you don't like

collard greens. Got it yeah and I first came across tree collards actually almost

at the beginning of my gardening journey from John Kohler from growing your greens.

He had a bunch of YouTube videos where the tree collards were like his big feature crop

and everyone was going crazy over them and I think he even started to give out either

cuttings or seeds of them on his YouTube channel and I was so hoping to get one way back then and something I definitely want to experiment with.

The next one on the list is Tullsy. So could you tell us about a little bit about Tullsy?

Yes, Tullsy belongs in the basal family. It is also known as holy basil and it's used,

it's treated as like an holy herb by Indians and
