The rains came and my Russian Mammoth Sunflowers grew 9 ft. tall. So did the corn! Lots of produce this summer, hard at work preserving food right now. Mostly freezing (30 loaves of zucchini nut bread and lots of vegies) and drying herbs, chives, etc. Chickens love the extra goodies from the garden and I made a pallet compost bin to put in all the chicken waste and garden scraps. Full circle now: chickens feed the compost bin that feeds the garden that feeds us, love it! Chickens should start laying any day now, too. Kitty likes eating my organic Swiss Chard!
