Look Who's Growing In My Garden!

My garden needs a LOT of work! The herbs have taken over, especially the oregano, mint and parsley. I had big plans to yank it all out next month and start over again, maybe attempt another vegetable garden. I purchased the seeds and the garden soil, but I hadn't gotten around to the job of yanking out those old herbs.

And then this morning, I looked a little more closely at the oregano. Wait a second. Over there, in the upper left hand corner of the patch. Is that fur I see?


I leaned in for a closer look.



A few little somethings wiggled in closer to each other.


Yep! Mama Rabbit decided that the herb garden would be a perfect place to grow her baby bunnies!


Awww! Aren't they the sweetest things when they're not eating my seedlings? :) Look at those little ears!

I can't blame Mama Rabbit for choosing the higher ground of my herb garden over the lower ground of the nature preserve. After all, in the preserve she'd have the coyotes and hawks and owls to contend with, but here in the garden, she just has to contend with an old labrador retriever who would rather soak up the sun than chase a critter. I think she chose the lesser of the two evils. Maggie doesn't walk in the garden, and I think the herbs will disguise the smell of bunnies.

Ah, the peaceable kingdom!

Hippity Hoppity, Easter's on its way!

I think I may choose to do some container gardening this year. Sounds like a much safer bet, doesn't it?

Blessings on your beautiful spring day!
