It appears I just might have a rabbit living near (or under) one of my chicken coops. I've seen it several times in pretty much same area and they don't travel far, I've read. Cute little thing. No where near the garden....it's good. Plenty of grass.

And the only Hollyhock that came backView attachment 85695
Tall as I am tops not even in the picture.

I love hollyhocks, they remind me of my grandmother.

I don't think I could grow them here

Can you try them in your greenhouse?

My greenhouse is pretty small... just 8x16,so edibles only.

No pretty,take up space, plants.


I did get a pot plant this year... actually 2, in honor of my grandmother. A hoya, and a rosemary.

Oh! And I took pictures to share with you all...

Left side... first cucumber wants to die... not sure why... second one is fine.... the rest of the things in the ground are tomatoes and peppers.

stuff in pots are things that I hope to bring inside at end of season.... herbs(thyme, oregano, and another basil or 2) , 2 tomatoes and 1 pepper, and a few calendulas.. we eat the flowers.

Right side, only pot is a rosemary.

tomatoes and peppers. At the front basil (green and purple) and one wanting to die sage.

Full shot. Doesn't show the trashcan to the right that hold water. My well water is ice cold... so I fill the trashcan, let it warm up for a day, then water from the trashcan.

Forgot to take photos of the outside garden... or maybe the weeds and wilty lettuce deterred me.

There is no such thing as weeds. It's erosion control or pasture. Just say it with conviction.

I planted some Thai long green beans yesterday and about 20 beans that were Black Cattle beans when I planted them last year, but the seed was speckled in other colors. We’ll see what I get this year. Was looking for my squash seed, but obviously I put them somewhere safe-from me.

As soon as I put something in a "safe place" that guarantees that I can never find it again.
