Follow me through this year while I work my little raised beds in the parking lot, forage the abandoned golf course and road sides for edible plants and share with everyone everything that happens; good, bad, and from my point of view.

Rabbit Update
So I have located a woman in Green Bay who has Silver Fox rabbits. She has a buck for me, ready now and a litter ready sometime at the beginning of April in which I'll get my doe out of. She will only be eight weeks old so I'll have to wait another two months or so before she's of breeding age. That's June. Okay. Then, if she mates right away, it takes about 30 days to kindle a litter. That's July. Then it take another 10 weeks or so for them to get to fryer weight. Now we're talking late September, early October before we dine on rabbit. I guess the consolation prize will be all through the spring and summer I'll have the best manure for the garden.
