Almost Self-Reliant
I have a forsythia in bloom They never did bloom in the spring which wasn't that odd because the chickens ate the buds off as high as they could reach. It's been so cool here this year. I think we have only had 2 days at 90 degrees and many, many days in the low to mid 70's with temps in the 50's and 60s at night. And it's been wet. I haven't watered anything but the raised beds and only a couple times. I can't remember a summer like this.
