We are located in Florida and we have to think more and more about severe weather. I try not to have large harvests during the hurricane season (the worst months Aug, Sept). We only hatch chicks during the winter so that they are laying by Springtime, for us March/April. The hardest for me to decide is just how big to go, because I will overplant and not have enough help to harvest! I am up to about 20,000 square feet. Someone stop me😁
