Great Bunny Massacre of 2006

[flea]

BY bunnies, not OF bunnies. OF my pole beans, and to a lesser extent the beets. Damned bunnies. Casper said, "Tell those bunnies to not eat your beans. They should eat a carrot." (The carrots are blissfully untouched, in poitn of fact.)

I watered the garden some just now, ensuring that the approaching thunderstorm (it is dark and rumbly now) will produce actual rain. mr. flea mowed the lawn in great haste.

Last Sunday at the Kroger I scored a lot of Burpee seed packets for free - they had expired (though they're 2006) and they were giving them away. So I planted bush beans Tuesday AM, and started some canteloupes, and put some Burpee 7 inch carrots in a big pot, since there's no way to grow 7 inch carrots in my clayey soil. The beans and the cantelopes have begun to germinate already. I need to plant more canteloupes, some more of my Johnny's beets and beans, and some of the marigold seeds (3 packets) I scored. Saving the mesclun and arugula for a fall crop.

Ah, here's the rain. May it bring cool, too.

We've got field fencing up for the dog, but we should have buried a foot of it, 'cause the fence is just symbolic for him. And of course, the bunnies can walk right through it, which seemed like an okay idea when we bought the fence.

Anyway, thanks for the link, I bookmarked it.
