Good Crop of Baby Rabbits

The yards at home and at the office seem to be hopping with baby rabbits. Yesterday as I went to the shed something jumped from under my feet. It was so small, I thought it was a chipmunk at first. It was a baby rabbit. So far, there seems to be no depredation in the garden. There is plenty of chickweed, clover and grass in the yard. If they will be satisfied with that, I will be satisfied with them.

The sugar peas are really plentiful. Only half of the bag was planted, but the yield is probably the best ever. They would be good with new potatoes. One disadvantage of the potato bag is that it is almost impossible to grapple new potatoes. The bag is almost full of dirt anyway so maybe it will just get dumped next week.

Knock on wood, the deer have not invaded the garden this year. The fence is not quite finished, but that is the number 1 project for the weekend. It would be good to clean up some of the vegetation on the neighbor’s side. I think that house is vacant and I may be able to get away with it.
