I bet the chickens do a good job with keeping pests down in the garden. I can't have them in my little suburban yard, especially with the neighbor's cat repeatedly sneaking into the back yard to chase the birds and my cat, but one of our local garden centers has two varieties homemade coops in their trial beds and it's so much fun to sit on a nearby bench and watch them.

I've always said that school shouldn't start until October because September is such a reliably sunny month, but nobody listens. :) I'm glad you're doing well and staying busy. Your garden looks lovely as always despite the heat. Cheers.

September and October have some of the best weather all year for us in southern IL. Especially September, and we are so enjoying it right now. <br />Your porch looks great! So nice to have that added space and to have it looking so nice, isn't it? I hope your neck recovers quickly and fully. <br />Your garden still looks colorful and luscious compared to ours. I have not spent much time in our garden the last half of summer. WAY too hot and so, so dry. Many of our hostas went dormant, the star magnolia lost all its leaves, the grass was brown and crunchy. The farmers' corn around here produced next to nothing. Much of it won't even be combined. Fields of corn only three or four feet tall, instead of 8 or 10. Sad. But the past few weeks we have had nice rains and the hostas sent out a few new leaves and the grass started to green up and grow. We will wait and see what things look like next spring and summer. Should be interesting.<br />If we lived close, I'd bring you some jelly. :) I've canned lots of jelly and fruit this summer. And some tomato paste. Been a fun project.<br />Hope to see another garden post soon! ~~Rhonda~~Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03066107815340652454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-83501999192721944752012-09-15T07:46:17.301-07:002012-09-15T07:46:17.301-07:00Glad to see you back here.
