    Pat, it looks like a perfect size for 2 chickens. I would have a 100 if I could, but have the space for 18. Better happy chickens than overcrowded ones. Anne

    Growing zinnias

    I too grow Zinnia's every year and love the colors and longevity as cut flowers. I grow sweet peas and bachelor buttons in memory of my Mom every year. We used to love to garden together. Here are a couple of my zinnias. Anne

    ohh I blew it.. but

    Of course it will get better. Every year in my garden is different, in fact, I did get my garden in on time this year, and about 1/3 of my flowers and vegs have done NOTHING.....so on time is not always an indication of success. I hope your husband is doing well. Anne
