Garden Guardian found a Rabbit Hole! 🚫🐇
Luckily, no babies in there (yet).
Hopefully, this will encourage that dumb bunny to find a better nesting place.
Enjoy! 💚

Chop & Drop Okra! 💚
Make soil in your Garden!
Okra stems are very thick, you could Chop them into smaller bits, & they would make soil by Spring. We feed ours to the resident Bunnies! 🐇
The leaves will break down easily.
Enjoy! 💚

We waited 20 months for these! ⏳️
Some Native Wildflowers take more than 1yr to Flower. The 1st year is for establishing their deep roots, setting up strong leaves, feeding the plant to be resilient for the future.
Enjoy! 💜

Bunny Troubles? 🐰
It's Bunny nesting time for us! 🪹
We discourage nesting by:
✅️ Filling in the holes
✅️ Let them eat "sacrificial" tulips, & clover
✅️ Closing gaps wherever they can get into
Enjoy! 💚
