We are starting to save up for a bunny barn upgrade. I want to move them into a set up with a steel roof, steel framework, and wooden sides before winter comes. I think the upgrade will definitely help with keeping bunnies better insulated over winter, and the wood walls will be removable to allow summer breezes in to help keep bunnies cool in warm weather. Unfortunately, the project is going to cost somewhere in the $900-$1000+ range, so I'm hoping I can sell enough bunnies and other stuff to make it happen.

Today I finished planting the peppers into the in-ground garden, transplanted the winter sown basil, garlic chives, and white bunching onions into plastic plant pots, put away the winter sowing containers, and managed to snap a photo of the back garden area. Along the side of the garage you can see the tire and wooden potato towers. The table holds the pots with the strawberries (the post broke for the strawberry tower), and #2's clearance lavender plant. It sits over a cement piece we found while digging the yard up last year (no idea what it is or why it's there, but it's shallow enough we can't plant anything over it and it's big enough we can't pull it up). The right side of the garden looks so empty right now, but it will fill out. The first row is five mystery watermelon plants, followed by six rows of tomatoes (39 plants), and then two and a half rows of peppers with one basil plant in the half row. The two remaining winter sown containers off in the back there are the eggplant and Brussels sprouts that didn't make it into the side garden along the garage. I think they will probably end up in that half row with the basil. I still plan on putting corn in the far back space that's left over. Penelope has been an excellent mom, her kits are fat and wiggly. There's a nice array of colors in this litter. Four harlequins, each in a different shade, a couple broken tri-colors, two broken yellows, and one broken odd color (opal? blue?). I look forward to seeing how these ones turn out. And right on time, Elsa delivered her litter this morning. Seven little cuties in the nest box. There are some new colors in this litter as well, including two dark almost chocolate brown babies that look to be otter marked, at least one harlequin, and at least one broken spotted baby. So far she's been a good mom and has been hanging out in the nest box with her babies all day. Ansen, Anna, Black Beard, and Bangarang are all set to leave to their new homes tomorrow after Tony gets off work.
