More Seed Space

We hopped out with the humans today and got another lovely little pan to convert into a mini-greenhouse for our seed.  It's deeper than our other one, so we think we might move our maturing squash seedlings in there to allow space for other plants in the other pan.  Needless to say, Brother was not happy, but really, we don't think he has a case at all for suing the store who sold this to us, for encouraging the growth of massive amounts of vegetables.

More Seed Progress!

Things are going so well!  Our lemon cucumber is already sprouting, so we went ahead and moved it into the container with the squash and peppers.  And then we moved loofa gourd, pear gourd and honeydew or cantaloupe melon seeds into the bag for sprouting!  This is working GREAT!  by the time we start to break ground on our garden, we are sure to have a ton of plants.  We just wish Brother would stop complaining.  A few hundred melon or cantaloupe seeds are NOT a threat to society as we know it!

Seed Progress

Our seed are doing so well, in their new little home in front of the heater, we can't wait to get a few more dishes of seed started, and we think the next batch will be located next to Brother's heater.  We just have to select the plants we want to be his neighbors.  We think some watermelon, and possibly squash will keep him in line nicely, don't you think?  Maybe cucumbers will keep him under control too.

Seed Sprouting

Our squash seeds are sprouting, and the habenero peppers too!  Brother is not pleased at all, but we have moved the seed into a new, expanded home, that we have tucked on a raised platform in front of one of the heaters.  If it works well for these seed, perhaps we will take over Brother's heater next.  Do you suppose he would mind having a tray full of watermelon as a neighbor?

Friday Cucumber Update

They moved more cucumbers outside today, and I shudder to think of the numbers. Then, to make matters even worse, they popped pretty much everything they had in their little baggies, into bowls to sprout and grow a bit more before being popped outside for invasion purposes. I'm afraid to ask how many cucumbers are in the bowls now. My one comfort in all of this is that hopefully within the week, they'll have most everything outside. At least if it's all out there, as long as I keep all doors and windows firmly secured, I'm safe from their plants.

Monday Planting Report

They moved a bowl of tomatoes and then a bowl of something in the squash family outside today. I think it might have been a mix of zucchini and pumpkin, or possibly butternut squash. Then, to make matters worse, they filled up five bowls with frightening amounts of tomatoes, zucchini, butternut squash, cantaloupe, Hungarian hot pepper and I don't even want to imagine what else. I shudder to think of what will happen when those hot peppers reproduce. The rabbits said the seeds were already hot in their paws, which seems to me to be a terrible sign of things to come.

Sunday Cucumber Report

The bunnies moved 130 cucumber seed to bowls this afternoon. How worried do you suppose I should be? I'm trying to avoid thinking about the tomatoes, watermelon, cauliflower, spaghetti squash and I don't even want to remember what else they might have moved as well, They would have moved more, but they ran out of dirt to fill their little bowls. Oh, and in even worse news, all of the cucumbers they have poked out are looking well. We had a storm this morning, and that was very good for them. The spinach and cabbage is looking up too, and I just know I'm going to be made a vegetarian at any moment.

Wednesday Planting and Seeding Report

The rabbits hurried a bowl of something in the squash family and a bowl of cantaloupe and watermelon outside today. They're talking about hopping out in a bit to put out some more cucumbers, but I'm not sure if they will or not. It's storming, and I don't think they have enough wraps for everyone to keep their ears in place. They planted the cantaloupe and watermelon rather close to one of our poor neighbors. Should I go ahead and tell those poor dogs to snag their humans and run? Anyway, after popping this out, they hurried to refill the bowls with more cucumbers and butternut squash. I really hope our neighbors have their suitcases at the ready.

Tuesday Updates Continued

They moved more stuff to bowls this evening. There were massive amounts of pumpkin, yellow squash, butternut squash, zucchini, peppers, cucumbers and more varieties of tomatoes than I want to consider hurried into bowls to fully sprout. And, to make matters worse, they promptly refilled the two baggies they had emptied with more seed! They added rutgers tomatoes, yellow pear tomato, homestead tomato, super mamande tomato, cherry tomato, san marzano tomato, beefsteak tomato, two packs of cabbage, two packs of zucchini, two packs of yellow squash, cauliflower, watermelon, two packs of cucumber, Hungarian hot yellow wax peppers, 25 pumpkin seed, and butternut squash. And to make matters even worse, they hope to move more stuff outside, so they can clear more bag space for additional seeds tomorrow!

Flipping their Lids!

The lids are off of all of the plants except a couple of the flowers! They were holding too much moisture in and some plants spoiled, so all lids are off except the ones on the cosmos and morning glories due potential poison issues. What am I going to do? All of those horrible, horrible, squash, pumpkin, cucumber, zucchini, watermelon and beans are looking at me suspiciously and I just know that now that they aren't safely locked under their little lids that they're going to get going full force with their plan of conquest! What am I going to do? Only a screen is holding them back from getting into the yard and heading for our poor, unsuspecting neighbors!

Movement

More watermelons, beefsteak tomatoes and cucumbers moved from baggies to bowls today. We are definitely never, ever going to see our poor, innocent neighbors again given the number of plants the bunnies are starting. Poor neighbors. I do hope they weren't excessively attached to their homes. I wonder how much advance notice I will need to give them before the bunnies move the plants outside? I understand the squash family can get aggressive rather quickly.

Sprouting this Afternoon

The lemon verbena is definitely sprouting, along with the chives. And in even WORSE news, the CARROT seed is sprouting! Do you know the damage that could be done from that horrible vegetable sprouting? Carrots are notorious for attracting rabbits! This neighborhood is so doomed it isn't funny. Some okra moved into a bowl today, only to be promptly replaced with more okra and pumpkins. I just hope okra isn't aggressive. I already have a bad feeling about the beans. I know those bean leaves were looking suspiciously at me!

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?

Today's Seed Alert

The seed is expanding even more. The bunnies took the lids off of some of the little bowls today to let their little plants stretch out for awhile. Does anyone think I need to phone the neighbors about this? It's all squash, zucchini, watermelon and pumpkin, a frightening amount of them too. They're lounging in the sink right by a window! What if they get out?

Additional Seed

The bunnies moved more things than I want to think about into bowls today, and in addition to what the new, delinquent bunny offered up they added: tendergreen beans, more tomatoes, three or four paws full of those mixed beans the grocery store so foolishly sold them by the pound, the rest of the pack of birdhouse gourd, and horror of horrors, value packs of cucumbers and butternut squash!

The New Bunny's Seed Contribution

The new bunny visited the food co-op before hopping in here, and like I said, arrived with nine new things of seed to try planting. The other rabbits happily welcomed this new delinquent, and moved the butternut squash and the basil over to give some planting room for her contributions. They've got green lentils, popcorn, mung bean, fenugreek, more fennel, anise, milk thistle, peanuts and something called annatto that I'm afraid might produce a tree tucked into a bag along with some butternut squash that wasn't ready to move yet. I just want it known right now that I was at home minding my own business when this bunny got her paws on the seed, and our neighbors should hold either the church who let her escape, or the food co-op to blame for the loss of their dwellings.
