We do have good soil here (Jory), and add to it every couple years from our 'manure pile.'<br /><br />Debbie, I hope the heat blast is gone forever!!!<br /><br />No, wyomingheart, the heat had passed; I think Vienna was just in a position from which she couldn't rise, and wore herself out trying.<br /><br />Jeanne, it's overcast here, too; so nice after the blazing sun! I'm not sure when I'll bring the chicks home; they need to be big enough to hold their own against my older hens which may be another month or two.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-43511292069942235582021-06-30T10:46:40.503-07:002021-06-30T10:46:40.503-07:00Whew!

I'm so thankful that she perked up! it's likely to have been the heat, although I think you said your weather cooled off before ours did. (This morning it was only 68 degrees when I got up, and was overcast! That's nice!)<br /><br />Your garden still looks good, and I'm glad your zucchinis are doing well.<br /><br />Your chicks are really growing. How long will it be, before you get to bring them home? They're all going to be beautiful.<br /><br />That salad looks really yummy!Jeannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-47177300798674278852021-06-30T10:19:37.584-07:002021-06-30T10:19:37.584-07:00Sure scary to hear about your heat!

Is it because you usually get good rainfall? Mulch is a lifesaver for my garden with our typical summers in the upper 90s and long droughty spells. Also have to mention what a beautiful color your soil is! <br /><br />I'm glad Vienna is okay. The pasta dish looks really yummy.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.com
