Lush Garden and Happy Hens - Life is Good!

We had a nice soaking rain Monday night, then heavy pouring rain Tuesday afternoon. There was severe weather all around, but nothing damaging here. The pollen has been washed away. Everything looks green and clean.

I'm cutting the broccoli now, and it is delicious. Pea pods are forming on the sugar snaps. The potato plants are robust. Salad greens are lush. Everything is growing well. I've thinned the radishes, and continue thinning the beets as needed in the salad mix. I've read that you can eat the radish tops, too, but even the small ones are a little too bitter for me.

The chickens are at maximum egg production right now... 9 hens, 9 eggs per day!
