I need to plant some beets in buckets here pretty soon. My Mom has expressed interest in getting some home-made pickled beets.
I'm finally getting around to planting the block holes around the raised garden bed. Today I put in seeds for Extra Dwarf Pak Choy, Straight 8 (or Slice More?) cucumber, Summer Savory, Sweet Marjoram, Black Magic kale, Green Curled Afro kale, Red Russian kale, Blue Curled Scotch kale, Sardinia spinach, Giant Noble spinach, Champion collard greens, and eight varieties of radish (Comet, Hailstone, White Icicle, White Tip Sparkler, Scarlet Globe, Cherry Belle, Watermelon, and Opolanka). There are still more spaces, but I'm not sure what I'll add yet. Probably a few of the winter sown stuff that is still languishing in containers. I need to plant some beets in buckets here pretty soon. My Mom has expressed interest in getting some home-made pickled beets. I went out to feed and water the rabbits and noticed one of the baby bunnies was in an awkward position and struggling while the other baby bunnies jumped over him (or her). Upon closer inspection, I realized both of bunny's back legs were stuck through the hardware mesh on the bottom of the hutch. It was clear the little one had been struggling for a while, as both feet were swollen and the fur was rubbing off the backs of its legs, but no blood, no open wounds, and with a little maneuvering I was able to free both legs. Bunny's feet are very swollen and baby isn't hopping around, but I'm hoping for the best. Here are the feet of the unstuck bunny (tan) compared to a normal sibling's feet (dark) to show the swelling. Poor bunny. Four ounces of Champion collard greens, fresh from the shade garden. Made a lovely salad for Tony and I. It feels great to go from garden to dinner table in a matter if minutes. Of course little #5 enjoyed sharing the salad with me too, though I suspect he likes salad more for the dressing than the actual salad. Comments are closed.
