I'm afraid I'm still getting lost at Blotanical, but I'm trying ;-)<br /><br />********<br />Velva, Thank you for the kind comments. My little bunny deserves fresh greens. His variety has a life expectancy of 5-7 years, and he turned 8 years old in October! He's never been sick a day in his life...maybe because all of those fresh organic greens!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-65285260661008433982009-11-18T08:56:25.757-08:002009-11-18T08:56:25.757-08:00Your garden is really coming together!

When I woke up it was 52 degrees in the bedroom, and even two hot little dogs couldn't take the chill off of me! I grab a sweater when it hits around 70, even warmer than that if I'm just sitting around.<br /><br />I've planted everything I can find to plant now, I'm out of potting mix, manure and containers.

As soon as the rattlesnakes go to sleep, I'm going up on the hill for more big rocks and I'll try to place them in some strategic places to stop the erosion. I just got it all raked and smooth today and Mr. H and the dogs both traipsed through it. There is NO reason to have to walk up there behind the garden boxes!<br /><br />I play hand and foot every Tuesday...I'll be sure to play a hand or two for you!<br /><br />Keep fingers crossed on the internet.
