Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

[N F C]

When we lived in FL we had lots of fire ants. The Amdro worked for the front but where ever the animals could get to, we would boil a big pot of water with Dawn dish soap in it and dump it on the ants. That seemed to help get rid of them (or at least move them along to some place we could use the Amdro).

That turned out nice. Can we get cute bunny pictures. My doe is due this coming week. This time on purpose.

Thanks, my husband has claim on the red barn, though my bantam coop is in it, my shed is the tan shed on the left. Used to be a tin pole shed that we are converting to wood siding.

Yes, i have cute bunny pictures!

They are so cute. Are they keepers or you selling them. How'd you get them to stay in the basket? Thank you for sharing them.

Most of them will be sold to pay for feed. I am keeping the spotted white lop. I just put them in there and they stay! I had like 5 in one basket, all piled on top of each other. They didn't seem to mind.

Here is my progress today!
One whole bed planted! Seeds put in, okra, turnip, and peas. Transplants put out, 3 pitiful tomato plants, broccoli, kale. Cabbage has been growing slowly all winter.
Plus i dug up another half bed and added more sand and manure. What a difference it made from last year when it was all clay!

Our weather looks crappy 30-40's, rain snow, high winds. Definitely nothing as far as gardening here in the foreseeable future, and I'm starting to think never.
