Sorry to hear about your chicken, is she OK now? You'd think that googling would pull up info on her ailment, but I couldn't find much. I've got an approximate idea. I hope she gets better.

Did you get most of the rest of the plants in the ground?

You can soak dried beans from the store and sprout them to grow your own. DD and DH did that with some black beans from our pantry this spring. Will you be able to get the girls to leave the bean pods alone until harvest time, tho?!

Any pictures?

Comparing where you were last year with gardening in the sunshine this year...you've come a long way, sweetie. I'm so glad you're here!
