Behind Every Great Garden

Behind Every Great Garden there is even greater fertilizer! ha After my dinner with Maggie at the Roseville B&B and our discussion with Melvin about his beautiful flowers. The secret was out that Rabbit Poo is the key. I asked some ladies at Knitty Committee if they knew anyone who had rabbits. It was suggested I contact the fiber group and the other knitting group. Lucky me Rustin connected me with Jeannette, who connected me with Jeanne - The Rabbit Lady. I called and asked if Monday morning would be convenient to come and get the Poo.

This is just a sample of what I brought home. I still have plenty to add to the gardens later.
If you didn't know Rabbits really like certain greens. I told Jeanne I have some Basil and Catnip growing in my garden. She said the basil was like gold to the rabbits. So off I went with basil and catnip in hand along with plastic bags and containers for my collection.



Jeanne and Brad run a safe haven rescue center for rabbits. I will have to get the web site and post it later. Here are a few of the local members.

This is Isabella. Her sister, Giselle, is in the cage next to her.













Once I got home it was off to spread the Poo! Which isn't hard to do. I was so happy the rains came this week. I was thinking during the rain - Yes, let the poo do it's magic. I will keep you posted on the progress.

Ciao and Happy Gardening!

hope the poo doesn't "burn" the garden-are you sure you don't have to compost it first? will be waiting to hear more of your ongoing gardening saga as I too love to garden!
I love the pictures of the bunnies and that you took them delicious greens to eat. You are so thoughtful!

Good luck with the gardening.

The bunnies are adorable and I'm so glad you were able to take them treats. : )
