:grin cute Donna
I think I told about it on the Jewel board in Maw's thread.. I will look and see if I have pictures still up that I can share.
I asked maw to do a version of her ramble over there, as you all know what group cruise boards are like.. instant excitement.. followed by inertia.. the longer away the cruise.. the more the inertia :lol But new \'groupies" do not understand this, and they are disappointed by the lack of posts.
So I thought a chat would serve two purposes.. it would allow them to get to know each other.. plus keep the spirits up.. in fact I have just posted and asked for someone to do this on the HAL board also.
But I digress..... :grin I have a tendency to "rick rack" when talking :lol
About the bunny.. I was quite happy to share the basil that he/she was eating way down. As I told Einstein.. I will just buy another plant and put it in a container in the small area next to the house. But then one day I went out and found out that Bun had chomped BIG time on my Beans...
So action had to be taken.
The next morning I went out to that back corner where my picket fenced veg garden is. I first went into the garden to make sure bun was not already in there having an early breakfast.. usually when I go in, he shoots out through the pickets and goes back to his home under the shed. Nothing stirred..so I started to staple up small hole wire. it was hot, bugs were biting.. I was miserable.. :lol
I was on the very last piece (the gate) when all of a sudden there is the sound of a frantic bunny bouncing off the wire.
The poor little devil was IN there, and had been all the time.
So I backed off, opened the gate fully and allowed him to escape.
I worried that I had scared him into moving. But after an absence of one day, I saw him out in the grass eating his new menu.. until he tunnels under the 6 foot solid fence that boarders two sides :grin
Now about the raspberries...
If I had of known that they would take off like they have, I would have planted them alone in the other corner of the whole garden.. they are taking over completely.. and they are covered with berries and potential berries... I could not wait.. and last night I tried one.. talk about sharp! :lol
Since I took this picture of the raspberries then have added about 25% in height and thickness.. I will need to use a machete to get in soon.
see those beans on the right? that was BB... Before bunny :lol they are now recovering stalks...rhubarb in the back, and cucumbers to the left.
this is my rosemary.. I would not hesitate to plant this again as a decorative bush out in the front..
And Fla Jack had asked about the gardenia bush next to the house, as when they were here, it was loaded with buds. Now a lot of them have died back in the photo, but you can see how many there were.
and even the three near the pool deck produced big time, although this photo was taken before they reached their peak.
and after a storm we had baby birds down on the grass.. I hung two old feeders, made nests in them and put a baby in each so they were safer and hopefully "mum" could feed them. one made it, but unfortunately the other did not.
I bet you are wishing you had not asked me :lol
