Nice Pictures!clindz, the bunnies are adorable!! You are doing a great job raising them. I raised some pinky field mice when I was a kid. Dad destroyed the nest with the tractor. I was worried they would be too tame to fend for themselves when it was time to let them go. Ha! As soon as it was weaning time, they went crazy WILD! It was like they had never seen me before. Wonder if the buns will do something similar.
I have been planting things out in my chicken yard for years, but the drought makes it tricky. I have some roses in pots that I want to put put there. I've got a loquat tree & pineapple guavas. This spring added 2 pomegranates and a small orange tree, and still want to add several roses that have been in pots way too long. My latest plan, unbeknownst to hubs, is a low pergola that I will cover with grapes, underneath will be an official dust bathing area.
I put in a butterfly bush a few years ago.
But they love their apple tree better.
We got normal amounts of winter rain, so the butterfly bush id going crazy with blossoms this spring.
Did you know that butterfly bushes kill butterfly larvae(can't live off of the plant)?
