Sun & mid 60s here, too. TEMPTATION! TEMPTATION! TEMPTATION!
Put 6 rabbits in the freezer today.
Yesterday, finished the tilling for the sunflowers; pea-tilling got done a few days prior. Still don’t dare plant, though.
This year I have to dig out the Everlasting Onions*, (Allium cepa perutile), reinvigorate the beds, then separate & replant them...with a major batch headed for kitchen duty. ;-’)
Started making paper pots yesterday. Today is Day 14 for the incubating eggs. They’re all brown eggs , which can take 2 or 3 extra days to hatch, so no peep-report until friday after next.
*A non-flowering Evergreen Perennial onion that produces profuse clumps of bulblets which are pulled off the sides as needed for cooking, Very Hardy & stands well through the winter & for many years after. (Rare) Rare enough that it’s even hard to find info on them on the Net.
I haven’t had rabbit or squirrel since I was a kid. Squirrels abound in our neighborhood, because we have lots of hickory nuts (hubby says they are not the edible type).
I think that if push came to shove we could probably raise some rabbits to eat with out violating any of our sub-division restrictions.
“Evergreen Perennial onion”
Did you start them by using seed or plants? And they keep growing year after year? Now, that’s my kind of plant.
Those onions sound interesting. How hardy are they?
