Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

77°F. What month is this again? 2 new litters of baby bunnies born today! Yay, more poo for the garden!

You want some bucks, mine are about to be strangled. Too much peeing, and wanting to fight with each other.

Gotta see pictures (or it never happened, right?)!

When I first started growing a garden on this sand dune, all the tomatoes no matter which kind all tasted the same. I did find one particular type (Northern Exposure) that did really good and produced beautiful large blemish and crack free tomatoes. The problem was that they pretty much tasted like a store bought tomato and had a kind of rubbery texture. I kept growing them anyway because they seemed fine after they were canned.

Then I discovered azomite. After the addition of azomite, all the different kinds of tomatoes that I planted each had their own unique flavors and textures. The first time I had a Northern Exposure tomato after the sand being treated with azomite, I was shocked. It was by far the sweetest best tasting and best texture of any tomato that I had ever eaten. Because my "soil" is still mostly sand I have to treat with azomite regularly since the sand allows everything to wash through and requires more than the normal amount of water to keep things growing.

This year I am upset because Burpee's decided to stop carrying Northern Exposure tomato seeds. Unfortunately they are a hybrid so saving the seeds would not produce the same tomato.

Never heard of azomite before, but if it makes that much difference, I'd like to try some. Thanks for the tip!

Saw 53* here today. It was lovely, sunny, no jacket weather, and mud that would suck my boots off!

Aren't they in separate cages?

One got kicked out of the nest box. Not sure if it has an issue or not.

And i ordered 44 lbs of azomite.

Yeah, but the cages are in a pen so I rotate who gets out to run. All they want to do is try to get the other males through the cage and shoot pee. I have 4 males in one area, and 3 females and a single male in another. The all male area stinks.

Are you sure it was kicked out? I would have random ones that apparently didn't let go of mom after nursing and got a ride outside. Mom won't return them, so I had to check a few times a day.

Yeah, i am not sure so i warmed it up and put it back.
I only have 2 adult bucks and they are in different areas. But yeah, the oldest one pees all over and even poops in his water! Wth?

They go from adorable bunnies to disgusting dirty adult males. Females are moody, but at least they are cleaner.
