Please order a free seed catalog from rareseeds.com--wow! If this doesn't get you excited about growing a little food next year, nothing will, and it's not too early to start planning. You can buy a $4 packet of seeds, find a 5' sq patch of ground, and grow yourself your own 85-150lb watermelon! Or you can just have a fabulous container garden. It is just a fun, relaxing read, I'm already excited about next year, and learning about all sorts of things I can plant in fall!
I had a sick chicken last night and was sure she was going to die. She was totally lethargic, limp when I picked her up (they usually fuss something fierce) and rather compliant when I fed her water, milk and a bit of colloidal silver (seriously, get some of this for your emergency kit for water-purification and antibiotic purposes). She slept in a box in my bathroom and this morning was perky, mad when I tried to pick her up, and happy to be put back out with her other friends. She actually ran directly up to one of the roosters, and they nuzzled--weird, huh? Aw, chickens and their little feelings.

I love that story about the chicken. Now that you are bonding with them how will you eat them? I'm just saying that would be hard for me. But then I do love to eat me some chicken. Miss you. We'll be in Utah again Aug 1st. We would love to meet your chickens.
