"SHIFTING GEARS"

It's a Holiday here so here's a break from the bunns. Some spring pictures from around the grounds of the House of Rabbits. It has been a cool and damp and gray Spring, but that has allowed for more time to do the garden work, so what is blooming is in quite nice form!



We have three apple trees in full bloom. Some pretty Spring blossoms ....

Lilacs doing well!


That girl stares up at bird feeders ....



The "Bent" arbor that hosts a beautiful pink climbing rose and a fragrant honeysuckle.


A view toward the bird feeders from the upper deck - I am standing in front of Racer's river barge to take this picture!!!



I like columbines and these deep blue ones especially ...


Lettuce in that upper garden (that is slug bait - the trails of powder) and chard, kale, and parsley sprouts (and a lone nasturtium) in the lower bed.


"RG thinks we should be impressed with his gardening .... YOUR VEGGIE GARDENING SUCKS, RG. PICK UP THE PACE!" - Winston


Thank you Winston. You may now continue with what ever you were doing ... what would I do without your wisdom?

That's pretty darn nice, and we here in Virginia wish we had half the green thumb you do.

Looks beautiful. Reminds me a bit of an english garden.

Lovely pics!

Sir Winston is a harsh taskmaster; that is some biting disapproval he's dishing out.

Beautiful gardens.

Hug the bunns. They operate on BunnTime not silly hoomin time.

Winnie, I don't think you're starving from lack of veggies ... that is a lot of poop in your litter box, Bunny Boy! Good lookin' poo, too! You are a healthy bun! ... do I need a LIFE! I just read a bun's poo ...

what a wonderful garden! Winnie should appreciate it more!

It seems that Winnie is less impressed by a Monet at Giverny effect than he is by Mr. McGregor's garden.

Can't believe anything blooms around here with no sun! I recently planted some veggies in pots, some have already died, some are doing well, with no sun.

Your garden is so so beautiful!!!! But I have to agree with The Bunns -- the vegetables are a bit lacking in comparison :)
