Blueberries also do well here. Again, fence them off next time so the dog doesn't do the harvesting. And the chickens will chase the dog off and then jump straight up and grab the berries. That explains why there were no berries less than three feet off the ground last year...
Try bird netting the whole bush instead of fencing. It will also keep out the assorted flying birds in addition to the chickens.
Investigate drip irrigation
Either that or use a movable yard
sprinkler Grow potatoes under soil next time.
Best way Granddad found to harvest potatoes was to plow the patch at the end of the season. Separate any that you cut from the rest & use them first.
