Good morning gardeners. Sorry you lost power @Sueby. The rain started around 3 am here and I think it's done for now. We got some strong breezes but not too bad. I was treated to yet another okra bloom this morning. I also picked another okra. One of my bell pepper plants actually has 2 small peppers developing. Maybe I should check the pole beans and jalapeno plants. I'm still trying to get caught up on "chores." I had planned on finally hanging a door onto Randy's bachelor pad coop but I misplaced my cordless drill charger. I really don't like dragging a power cord through a chicken run. I found it this morning and will work on that this afternoon. I'm headed to the grocery store this morning while the ground dries a bit. I've not had too much of a problem with the pullets learning to use the nest boxes @NewBoots. After I put them in with the hens there were a few eggs laid in the dirt, but after a few "sessions" of putting the pullets in the nest box and sitting with them for a few minutes they lay in there consistently now. My problem is getting the pullets to go into the coop at night. I have to carry them in there and put them on the roost every night. Maybe the storm we just had will change their mind. Gotta go for now. Have a great day everyone.
