I'll be honest. I haven't been out to check on my garden in a few days. It's been raining almost all day everyday, especially in the evenings when I'm home. That's not to say no one's peeked at it. Alex goes out every couple of evenings to make sure it's sufficiently watered.
I hope my plants are getting enough sunlight to grow and not so much water they are drowning.
I bet my strawberries are getting big.
One side of me is trying not to look every single day, at least not in the beginning because it's sad to see so little progress. On the same note, I want to look every day to make sure we don't have any over zealous birds or squirrels taking over. We're lucky, I've never seen a rabbit in our neighborhood. I honestly thought maybe they just didn't live in the city, but I saw one at a friend's house on Tuesday. Who new.
A funny story: Once upon a time, I lived in Lubbcok Texas, home of Texas Tech University. The west Texas city, is DRY. In fact, dust storms were a regular occurrence and tumbleweed would blow through my apartment complex (which was on 4th street about one block from the busiest road in town and one block from the sprawling campus). In other words I didn't live in the middle of no where. So one Saturday morning, I decided to take a little run. I headed toward campus and ran by this museum that sat on a few acres of land. You might call it a park I guess. Anyway, at this point in my Texas life other than a few skinny squirrels and an occasional road kills armadillo I hadn't seem much wildlife, but on this particular day, while I was running I was shocked and startled when a pair of GIANT ears lunged toward me. After the initial shock of what I thought I had seen, I realized that it was a rabbit. A tiny sweet bunny with huge ears. It was a jack rabbit. Looking around, there were probably hundreds in this park. They were the most bizarre looking creatures.
On the left, a Texas jackrabbit, on the right, an Indiana bunny rabbit. You can see my concern.
When those GIANT ears popped up at me.
