Then you won’t mind going down to the station and answering a few questions, right?

I like the white rose of Sharon. Mine are all purple.
I had elephant ears for a couple years. .

Most of my rose of Sharon are purple, but I have a couple that are white. When I lived in Florida, I had elephant ears. You didn't have to worry about digging them up. We just covered them if it was going to get really cold!

Hen with chicks, 3 1/2 weeks

The chicks interact w the orphans thru the mesh, couldn't get a good pic. But the orphan chick, 2 days younger, seems much smaller. Moonshine swears at the orphans, and they move away.

We've had so much rain this year that the chicken run, which has been completely bare for quite a while, is full of interesting bushy weeds...

How do fair shows work? I used to show birds when I was a kid but they were strictly poultry shows not fairs.

I've been doing some research and I think that a combination of too much rain and full exposure to the afternoon sun is what did my raised bed tomatoes in. I found this article by Bonnie Plants for growing tomatoes in hot climates very interesting. Has anyone used shade cloth in the hot months?

The tomatoes on the deck are shaded a bit by the trees in the afternoon so I guess that is what saved them.

So much to learn lol... but I'm making progress I think.

I was going to say before it seems to me like too much water will do them in . .but I would've thought in a raised bed they would drain really well. I'm glad I didn't put anything out this year with all the flooding we've had.
