I'm not sure how that rabbit isn't devouring everything in sight, all of that healthy greenery looks so delicious.
We've yet to harvest anything but some of the radishes are right around the corner from being plucked into my cake hole while I'm watering in the area.
In the picture with the rabbit in it, is that a Dill plant, it sure looks like it. If it is, good for you, that herb is not easy to grow, especially here.
Fruit trees can also be a challenge, but once one sees some fruit set on whatever type of fruit tree they may be cultivating it's all smiles. Good to see that the little fig tree made it through the winter and seems to be flourishing.Hello @riverflows, it looks like you folks have been busy and there's nothing like some cool pleasant weather like you mentioned to enjoy gardening.

Have a great weekend and it's good to hear from you.

Hey @thebigsweed! Always nice to get a visit.

I don't know how we've been so lucky with the bunnies staying pretty happy with the grass and not gobbling up our garden loot. Perhaps it's nature evening out the score since the chipmunks, squirrels and bugs give us enough run for our money? Haha

That is a bronze fennel plant by the rabbit. We occasionally get dill to pop up for a bit, but as soon as the heat comes on strong they always die off fast. Which is a shame since I love dill! And it never seems to last into cucumber season for pickling.

We ended up pulling off two little plums yesterday. Despite the tiny harvest, they were absolutely delicious! I'm very much looking forward to next year and hopefully getting lots more!

I hope those radishes are ready for you soon!

Good morning, it seems that we have the same critters, but they don't seem to be causing too much damage. Our biggest problems are slugs. It's a morning ritual, grab the scissors and cut slugs, just yesterday I had to snip at least 100 of them, they love the greenery of the potatoes.

We've got a few pots of dill and they're doing great. Last year I planted them too early and by the time the cucumbers came in they were not at their peak.
This year I think I've got them timed just right.

Your plum tree sounds like my apple tree, only 2 apples, and the dam ants destroyed one just a few days before I was going to pick them.

I picked our first radish yesterday and it was the size of a golf ball, that works for me.
