We bought insanely expensive SOIL!!! like, DIRT!!! in bulk!!!!!!!!! BULK DIRT what am i even doing alkjdlakja) and working them in with a hand cultvator while cursing dandelions to the pits of hell, etc, ( Read more... )

FLUFFY OR NOT, WHEN THEY EAT MY PLANTS, I CANNOT BE FRIENDS. THE TARZAN YELL IS RESERVED FOR THEM. :|

I hate dandelions with a passion. T_T More than I hate the bunnies. T_T Not that I hate bunnies, especially, just that my garden and bunnies should forever be mutually exclusive. If only the bunnies listened. >>

Aaah no, it's barely a garden now, lol. It was pretty weedy for a long time, and I only started gardening last summer. And even then I only tended a very small patch. This year I'm more ambitious lol. There are lots of insects, yes. >> I'm keeping it in an informal style, but er, it's an ongoing wip now, guess we'll see how it ends up. o_o

At the time i didn't have my shears you see. i only had the long sticks......

I had no idea the bunnies could be such a nuisance! They look so cute and innocent, too... Good luck with the garden! ^_^

they do, don't they! Until they decide that your garden makes a very nice home for their family (!) and start eating all your favourite plants. :( I'm paranoid now because I have all these plants that I've started indoors, and I sowed the greens like lettuce and kale and chard, and, well, with the bunnies.....

thank you! :D I'm planning both veggies and flowers, so I guess we'll see how successful I am this year lol.

Yeah, squirrels and bunnies are just rage-inducing by now. >> And ooooh all the best for your garden! :) What are you planning on planting? :)

Oh no, the poor sunflowers! I've started some sunflower seeds inside, and only 6 of them sprouted.... now 3 of them look in bad shape, idk how many will be left to transplant alkjd;f.

I googled that plant, and it's beautiful! I hope the plants grow well for you! :D/ Not having to think of squirrels are a pretty big plus. XD
