More Seeds
More seeds were lagged home this afternoon. I'm just thinking goodness they are those nest egg gourd seeds, instead of some horrifying vegetable. I'm sure I can rent out the nest egg gourds to hummingbirds or something. Those little things should fit inside one of those gourds nicely.

Seed Needed
There actually is one sort of seed that I'm going to have to risk allowing rabbits to leave the house to collect more of. It turns out that hummingbirds are supposed to like the anise plant, and apparently you can't rent a dwelling to one of those little things unless you have a snack bar for them right next door. I've got a ton of egg gourd plants sprouting so something must be done to lure in tenants. Do you think I can tell the food co-op to sell anise and only anise to the rabbits?

More Seed Moved
A pack of kohlrabi moved into a bowl this evening along with the egg gourd and three seedlings of my birdhouse gourd. I wonder when I'll need to start hanging up signs advertising my future rental properties? The egg gourd are kind of small, but I suppose they'll hold hummingbirds. I want to make sure that the birds know early that dwellings are coming on the market, though, so they can go ahead and sign up for a unit. The only bad thing about this evening's moves were that the bunnies poked more kohlrabi, mixed gourds and several paws full of those mixed beans into the vacant spaces in the bags. Do you suppose it's a bad sign that they've used half a pound of those things?

Mystery Seed Identified?
The bunnies believe that they have finally identified the mystery seed they found and poked into the bags for starting. After some thinking and checking it out when it sprouted, they think it's egg gourd seed. Can my luck get any worse? About the only size bird who would be interested in renting one of those gourds would be a hummingbird, and I'm not too sure about them. Why couldn't they find some seed for a decent sized rental property instead?
