Gardening Is Dangerous!
Comments (9)Trubby, Well, of course they returned in broad daylight....they had to check and make sure they hadn't accidentally left any spinach for you! The eat lots of other stuff, too, but have never touched my carrots either. They do seem to love bean plants as well. And where were the eight magnificant mongrels with whom you share your home? Asleep on the job? Away chasing the deer? I have a 12-year-old Australian Shepherd who instinctively knows when something is in the garden. She'll wake you up having a fit because she knows something is out there and she wants to go get it (and right now!), and she is right every time. She's half-lame now, totally deaf and about half-blind, so she gives "the bark" and two of the younger dogs chase off the deer, rabbits, possums, armadillos, coons or whatever. For a while, the mama dog, who is a terrier mix, would kill the rabbits and bring me their heads. She would politely leave that mangled head on the Welcome Mat by the front door where I was sure to find it. After numerous scoldings, I broke her of that. Well, she still might be killing the rabbits (although I don't think she is) but she no longer leaves body parts on the Welcome Mat. So, I wonder if your spinach-eating rabbits have super strength? Well, at least spinach grows fast so you have time to plant a new crop. Did they nibble it off and leave the roots? If so, it might resprout. Or, did they essentially pull it up, roots and all? If those rabbits keep coming back, it might be time for rabbit stew. Dawn...See MoreNEW: Easter Basket Swap: everyone welcome

Comments (13)This is such a good idea tl.graham & wish I could commit to doing it this month... but, I have to say no so I can wrap up what I've already started here & at camp. I am checking things off my list, but sometimes add 2 more to it. Plus our son graduates this year... You all know how time fills up... I want to catch a hummingbird on camera, but I have to sit still in the garden with the camera to do that. I had put some pots on my chair because I'm not sitting anyway & wanted to keep them up away from slugs. I moved the plants the other day, but haven't sat there yet. In between rain showers I'm on my feet working not sitting because we haven't had much sunshine yet. We went to a plant swap on Saturday & brought home 100s of plants. I'm only keeping a few dozen & the rest go to our daughter, camp, a friend, or our parents. Only 2 are still as given in the plastic bags dug up from the garden perennials now. I've been potting or planting like crazy this week using up my potting soil stash to keep them growing well. Spring is full of fun! Corrine...See MoreUPDATE: Easter basket swap #2
Comments (111)sue, i'll be turbo grading on monday and tuesday, final papers as they write their final exams and then the exams as they come in, then the greenhouse on wed, then thursday my lit papers are due so a final batch of turbo grading, greenhouse friday sat and sunday, and grades are due monday so somewhere before then i have to add up all of those numbers. that will probably be my friday night, sitting on the couch, watching the thursday night tv shows online, and cursing at the calculator. i have done nothing in my garden un a long time, no transplanting of seedling yet. don't even have a plot dug up. rain rain rain. after next week, though, if no one else signs up for my 102 comp class (which would be BAD. if you know anyone desperate enough to pass comp 2 that they will come to waynesburg to do it, let me know LOL) i will only be working at the greenhouse until the last week of june, when i do my week long nature lit class. hopefully i can get everything planted out before the heat of july kicks in!!...See MoreJody
