Bunny Garden Update

Posted on June 27, 2010 by Abi Cushman

We decided to build another 4×4 raised bed devoted just to lettuces and other bunny greens. They really do consume a lot. So yesterday I planted three different kinds of green leaf lettuce, more cilantro, and some basil plants.

In the fall, we’ll do another round of romaine lettuce, plus we’re going to try growing some bok choy as well.

In our new raised bed, we planted three different kinds of looseleaf lettuce, basil, and cilantro. In the background, we have a pot of mint, more lettuce, and carrots growing in the raised beds behind.

The cilantro I planted a few weeks ago in one of our other beds germinated. So Cosette will be happy in a little while when it’s big enough to eat.

We’ve expanded upon our experiment from last year to grow some of Coco and Cosette’s food. This season, we have four raised beds of fruits and veggies – both for the bunnies and ourselves.

For the bunnies, we have growing: Lettuce (pictured above), carrots, basil, broccoli leaves, dandelions, and apples (our trees have fruit this year!).

I might try growing cilantro next spring because it’s Cos’s favorite, but I’ve heard it can be difficult to grow.

UPDATE: Bought some cilantro seeds. I read that I still had time to plant them. So we’ll see how that goes. Also bought a mint plant that we’ll keep in a separate pot because apparently they spread quickly.

Bunny Garden Attempt: Phase 3 – Sprouts

Posted on May 21, 2009 by Abi Cushman

The Bunny Garden is coming along. We have little lettuces! Also, we must have had either squash or pumpkin seeds in the compost because we have some other sort of plant flourishing as well. The tomato plants have seen better days, but they’d probably be completely dead if they hadn’t been covered by their little greenhouse cylinders. (Thanks for that tip, Rabbits’ Guy!) We’ll put the tomato plants outside later in the season next year. We’re also growing several strawberry plants.
