Always something trying to give us an extra challenge. Every year is so different, especially this year where like you, we have had no rain for a very long time. We have been pumping water out of our pond to help keep our vegetables and flowers going. We are lucky.

They are very pretty naughty chickens though. I love Sweet Peas, they have such delicate and lovely faces, and the colours are so pure. I don't have much of anything growing, it is all in a state of decline. We have had a very long dry spell and the earth under the much looks like concrete...not a good soil for growing pretties and so I enjoy stopping by to see what you have blooming. Take good care of yourself and those Sweet Peas~ Mary Howell Cromerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473298562829352582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-41104350822274229202017-07-15T06:45:18.833-06:002017-07-15T06:45:18.833-06:00Good Luck Rosemary.

I can't imagine what critter would like them. They are somewhat poisonous, aren't they? My morning glories volunteer prolifically and I have to make sure that they don't overwhelm some of the spaces. I can't think of anything that might work. <br />One idea might be placing a shallow dish filled with beer and check it very early in the morning. See what might have drowned or come by for a visit.

Every year is different. It's always a juggling act. What is more important, fresh eggs or Sweet Peas. <br />The carved wood is a detail from a large piece of an Italian highboy. It holds my china and crystal.

I am having trouble with my morning glories - everytime a seedling appears and gets established something, I know not what, comes along in the nightime and snips it off.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-59156020090685172942017-07-13T21:18:48.407-06:002017-07-13T21:18:48.407-06:00Dear Gina,

If it is not the many little caterpillars,<br />the grapes go to the birds and the squirrels make a mess of the pots. Your colorful chickens will probably reward<br />you with extra special eggs after a meal of the Sweet Peas.Love all your photos and the carved wood design.<br />Hugs, SieglindeDahling1https://www.blogger.com/profile/01706796518280004968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-12641967008474569422017-07-13T15:01:18.617-06:002017-07-13T15:01:18.617-06:00Hello Rick, Chickens are a messy bunch.

There is always one in the bunch that likes to come over and talk to me when I'm in the garden.
