Seed Purchases Part 2

They did it again. The bunnies claimed they weren't sure they had enough royal burgandy beans for a nice, fat planting, so they hopped to the store to snag some more packs. They got two packs of royal burgandy beans, two of ruby lettuce, a pack of greencrop beans, two packs of cucumbers, two packs of kohlrabi, a pack of cabbage, a pack of rutgers tomatoes, a pack of pumpkin, a pack of watermelon, a pack of carrots, two packs of butternut squash, a pack of sweet basil and a pack of silver queen corn for a total of eighteen more packs of stuff. I must keep telling myself that it is all the neighbors' fault. It is all their fault. They shouldn't have moved in next to us, so it's obviously all their fault.

Seed Purchases

The insane store that seems intent on catering to the rabbits sold THIRTY packs of seed to the bunnies this afternoon. My one comfort is that four of the packs were flowers, two packs each of cosmos and bachelors' buttons. For the veggies they got four packs of corn, two packs of butternut squash, two packs of some kind of purple bean called royal burgundy, three packs of grand bell peppers, a pack of early jalapenos, two packs of beefsteak tomatoes, two packs of homestead tomatoes, three packs of super marmande tomatoes, five packs of various kinds of cucumbers, a pack of spicy basil and a pack of cabbage. That store should be SO ashamed! They're planning on putting the corn and beans out right away, and are working on adding an additional corn row to accommodate it, since corn doesn't like to hang out with other types of corn.

Seed Sale

The rabbits found a place that is foolishly selling seed for five cents a pack. Does anyone know how is best to go about making a snare to snag their big feet and keep them from hopping off to shop? Goodness knows how much seed they might end up coming home with at that low, low price!

Should I Call the Cops?

A store sold more seed to the bunnies today. They got three packs each of broccoli, cauliflower and green pepper, another pack of cantaloupe, three packs of cherry tomato and two of rutgers tomato. Surely selling that much seed to bunnies is some sort of criminal offense! So, how do I go about turning them in?

Disaster!

We will never see our neighbors again, and frankly, I'm not sure how in the world I'm going to get out of here either. The food co-op foolishly sold an ounce of pumpkin seeds to the rabbits. Do you know how many pumpkin seeds make up an ounce? I'm guessing there are close to three hundred there and it only cost the bunnies 37 cents! They're going to sprout them, and if it works well, they're hoping to hop back next week for more! A pound of seeds are 4.15. Can you imagine the number of pumpkins that could result from that? They also got celery , fenugreek, fennel, green lentils, mung beans, adzuki beans, milk thistle, black eyed peas, alias cowpeas, flax, annatto, cardamom, anise and dill. On the up side, the poor cat who has the misfortune to work at the seed store was on duty when they came hopping in there, and was able to keep them from purchasing anything but birdhouse gourd for me. Unfortunately, though, they also got Roma tomato, beefsteak and homestead tomato and cantaloupe at another store. I don't think anything tops the pumpkin, though. What was the food co-op thinking?

Seed Purchases this Afternoon

The bunnies got to the store again, and came hopping back with more seed. These things aren't labeled value packs, which frankly I think should qualify them for violating some sort of truth in advertising standard given the amount of seeds they contain. They got five packs each of zucchini and yellow squash, three packs of cucumbers and two packs of Swiss chard. Our poor, poor neighbors. And they've been spending so much time, too, trying to make their houses look their nicest. Should I tell them of the futility of this now before they invest any more time in home improvement?

Seed! Run!

The bunnies got more seed today to be on the safe side. All I can suggest is for the neighbors to flee now. They got five packs of butternut squash, Three of watermelon, two of cucumbers, two of yellow squash, two of cantaloupe, two of cherry tomatoes, three of rutgers tomatoes and three packs of table queen squash. Honestly, the bunnies are restocking due to fears of losing the stuff they've moved to bowls due to our nutty weather and humidity! They haven't moved much to bowls yet! Most everything is still in bags and the rabbits should be ashamed of themselves for getting enough seeds to do in our poor, poor neighbors! We'll never see them again at the rate at which the rabbits are going!

Leashes

Does anyone know where I can get my paws on a leash for a rabbit? I unfortunately must let them out in order to get seed to feed my hopeful, future hummingbird tenants, but I'm not sure they can be trusted without tight supervision, so I'm thinking of putting them on a leash and accompanying them. Given how easily those stores allow rabbits in, they shouldn't have a problem with me. I just need to find a leash that would work for the rabbits. Does anyone have suggestions? I'm sure they're bad about pulling, and their hopping tendencies are rather alarming.

Afternoon Seed Update

Some lunatic let the bunnies obtain more seed this afternoon. They came hopping home with packs of pea, green bean, yellow squash and zucchini seed. They haven't poked them in a baggie for starting yet, but I know they're going to any minute. Honestly, what these stores are thinking, I'll never know. It isn't like the bunnies go shopping in disguise or something. It's very obvious with the little cotton tails and the big, floppy ears that they're bunnies, so why do they keep selling to them?

115+ seed packets

I have found 115 empty seed packets so far, including some that are alarmingly called value packs. I so hope our poor neighbors are insured for this sort of thing, although how someone can ever have enough insurance to cover the behavior of delinquent bunnies, I don't know. And of course, the seed packet count doesn't include what came from the food co-op, that pound of beans the store foolishly allowed a bunny to purchase, and some packets that the bunnies haven't completely emptied yet. Is there any way I can convince the stores to institute a policy right away banning bunnies from the building? Switching their change for Chucky Cheese tokens didn't work. Would you believe they know that a large mouse wasn't the father of our country?
