What did you do in the garden today?

I've had zero luck with carrots

I’ve never had good luck with carrots until last year when I planted them with the leeks

Could this be the possible reason

I have never seen him snacking on a leek

Not the rabbits in my garden. The local hawk population keeps them away pretty much. LOL!

Can the reason for hawks preferring rabbit meat over poultry be,,, ALL WHITE MEAT. Poultry,, Both WHITE and DARK MEAT

Mine grew but were extremely short and skinny at the end of the season. I think they were choked out by weeds, which were a big problem last year for the in-ground plants except the potatoes thanks to the hilling killing the weeds. Moving carrots tho a raised bed and mulching will hopefully solve the problem.

Today I did chicken chores and let my girls explore a bit. We have had a hawk in the area lately and I’m paranoid it will decide my chickens look like a snack. They were happy to be out even if it did get cut short by Mr. Hawk.

We started the morning with sleet which then turned to rain after an hour or so. It's been raining all day. Puddles every where. It is supposed to turn to snow around 8 or 9 tonight and then stop around 4 AM.
I went with my Mom to her appointment to see the surgeon (2 weeks post op). She got all the staples removed ( I think there about 40 of them!). She seems to be doing really well! Much better than this time after the removal of the ganglion cyst.
When we got back to rehab they told her that they expect she will be able to move back to her apartment on February 20.

Welcome to our gardening thread. The local hawks here likely moved a little south for the winter. I still stay with the flock when they’re out and about.

That’s great news Karen.

Tried walking the dogs after dinner and got caught in a downpour to start our next 20 or so hours of predicted rain. Neither of our golden retrievers wanted to come home despite the downpour, so that was a fun rest of the walk back home.
