Bunny Watch Begins!

     It’s been four weeks since Bucky and Buttercup had their evening of romance, which should mean bunnies arriving any day now.  Although the signs of rabbit pregnancy aren’t glaring with Buttercup, it does look like she’s put on some weight around the middle.  Normally, she tears out any hay from her cage and pushes it through the wire mesh, but lately she’s kept it in the back, and it looks like she may even be nesting in it.  We’ll be keeping an eye on her this week in hopes that she has little ones safely on the way.

     In unrelated news, it’s finally warm enough up here in New England to start working the ground!  Yesterday, I was able to begin spring cleaning the garden and raised beds.  The garlic I planted back in late October survived the mild winter wonderfully, and is looking good after some weeding.  On today’s menu, we’re serving up composting, soil amendments, and tilling.
