Ooh I love arugula!!! We direct sowed a couple rows of it, but I don't kow if the birds ate the seeds or were they too old... nothing came up!
Why take the whole thing if it keeps on giving, harvesting only the leaves?

Mine self seed these days. I'm a bit of a messy gardener, but it means there are nearly always some leaves I can collect for dinner when I need to. Plenty of rabbit food too (aka weeds 😅).
Haha nice! At least the seeds are great, I'm anout to collect our broccoli seeds to make sprouts... they bolted early.
How many rabbits do you have?
Too many! 😅 Currently I have four, two older ones and a pair that were supposed to be my replacement breeders, but he's a dud, so they just live together as a childless couple.
Oh rabbits that don't jave a thousand babies!!! I never even thought that was a thing. A friend ours started with just 4... she has too many, and they're getting tired of eating them now. We benefit from that once in a while though.
These are mini lops, so just pets. Recently someone else thought we bred for food and asked for help in butchering some rabbits. He must have been pretty puzzled when I said I'd never butchered one before. I thought he was asking because he knew we did our own chicken and quail on occasion and thought it would transfer. 😆
Oh so different!! I only processed a couple chickens in my life, and a friend brought me a rabbit for my birthday one year... turned out that present was a lesson in killing and butchering. It wasn't pleasant, but it is something I'd like to know more.
Pet rabbits are fun though.
