Yesterday when I went out to feed the rabbits, I was startled when a wild rabbit bolted from under the bunny barn. I knew we had wild rabbits, but I thought the neighborhood cats and dogs had taken care of our friendly neighborhood wild bunny. He (I use the gender generically here) used to visit us regularly when we had lots of bunnies, but stopped coming around when we sold off all of our rabbits. I guess he's back now that it's warm and there are other bunnies he can visit with. Or maybe he's just hanging out for the food that drops out of their cages - who knows.
Despite the new coating of snow on everything, I've added more containers to the winter sowing collection. This morning I did Mountain Mint and Lemon Mint. This afternoon I did Broad Leaf Thyme, Lemon Thyme, Garden Huckleberry, and Blue Curled Scotch Kale. I still have all kinds of seeds I want to get into containers, especially tomatoes and peppers. I've been trying to read up on what can and can't be winter sown. I guess some plants don't care to be transplanted, so aren't really a good option for starting in containers. I haven't come across anyone in colder climates that has seemed to have success with cucumbers, watermelon, or similar large leaf, fast growing, vining type plants. I wonder if it's because they outgrow their greenhouses too quickly. I'd like to try a few, just to see for myself, but some of my seeds are pretty limited, so I also don't want to waste them.
