I spent the weekend at Holden Beach with "the mothers" of Mothers' Group. I came back this afternoon to a sick chicken. No obvious signs of illness or injury. She's just lethargic. I isolated her, gave her some antibiotics -just in case - and will have to wait to see how she does.
Friday brought some strong and steady winds to the area. We are in a pretty serious drought condition and the wind simply made matters worse. The raised beds are very dry. This afternoon I removed the row covers and gave everything a shot of good ol' H2O. I'm not seeing any sign of sprouting peas or radishes, but then, I haven't been keeping the soil consistently moist.
Noah and Ashley were home this weekend. We enjoyed a big bowl of fresh salad greens out of the garden and edemame out of the freezer (put up from last year's harvest) before they headed back to Asheville this evening.
