Sounds like you've got everything going well ... I'm jealous of your dump find! I did get 2 truck loads of chipped wood a couple of weeks ago, which I've been using as mulch in my flower beds.
One of these days when we get to visit, I have got to talk to you about the rabbit raising. I want to do that so badly!
The 110+ temps here have taken out the onions that you sent me. I am beyond upset about it. :(
Don’t despair; they do go dormant in adverse conditions, then green up again. Ours are brown right now, to. Just keep them watered so they don’t desiccate. REALLY hardy little buggers, Zone 3 to Zone 9.
