I would reach out to the Extension Office and get the soil tested. Did you get rid of the blackberries and honeysuckle completely? The blackberries and honeysuckles are great food sources. It depends on which species of Honeysuckle some are poisonous but edible honeysuckle you can make jam, tea, and sore throat glycerite.

Hi JohnP,
We live 20 miles northwest of Ft Worth. We have just 3 chickens but that is enough for my husband and I. We bought Production Reds they are a hybrid chicken bred primarily from the Rhode Island Red and New Hampshire. They are not broody, excellent egg productivity, the egg size is large, color of eggs are brown, they are friendly, they do fine in cooler months, and they are NOT heat tolerant. However during our heat wave this past summer they survived.
We did buy a 6 nozzle spray mister from Home Depot $19.00, we clipped it to the hardware cloth and I believe that helped them survive. I also froze water bottles and put them in their water tub during the day. We also have large oak trees and built their coop and run in the shade.
They consistently give us three eggs per day. This is 20ish days worth of eggs.

I have recently started an herb garden. In your opinion what are the best herbs to have on hand to take care of different illnesses.

No, we do not wash them until we use them and we keep them in the refrigerator. I just happened to have them out of the refrigerator yesterday and took a picture. I told my husband we have to start eating more eggs.😃
