chive bunny steroids
2010-Jun-20, Sunday 03:49 pmChive bunny is back. The strawberry patch is in front of my black truck in this first photo. The patch includes some nice clover too. Chive bunny ate all the clover leaves a week or two ago, and finally they were starting to grow back. I guess that's what brought zhem back to my garden today.
Eating all the clover leaves has done some good. No longer hand-sized, chive bunny has quickly grown to about twice zheir original size.
When chive bunny was being especially cute, adorable, and photogenic, of course I didn't have my camera with me. *disappointed sigh* By the time I went indoors to get the camera, chive bunny was acting a lot more skittish. Here are the photos that I captured.
I've been working on the garden to arrange a raised bed area. The first wall looks great with a very even grade... except that the slope is a bit too steep. It's not what I intended when I measured previously. I guess next weekend (weather cooperating) I'll lift off the bricks and regrade that bed for the cinder block base. Photos of that project after I make some more progress.
I'm installing a raised bed in part of the garden so that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
joshuwain (one of my roommates and landlords) can do some easy-to-reach gardening. While sitting on the wall before finishing up today, though, I thought of another really good use for this raised bed next year. Cold frame! Just put some plastic over the top ledge of the brick border, and I can start seedlings outdoors instead of indoors next year. :)
Now, shower finished, photos posted... I think I might actually head to downtown Minneapolis to the local Eagle bar for some food and beer. I haven't eaten yet today, so I'm feeling rather hungry. Well, I ate some strawberries from the garden this morning, but a handful of fruit doesn't go very far when digging dirt and hauling cinder blocks and bricks for much of the day. I haven't been to the Eagle for many months either, so maybe I can enjoy a visit today.
