So, I wasn’t sure if the cottontail mom would nest in the raised herb bed because I planted onion sets this spring, but she didn’t disappoint us! 😂🥰🐰🐇🐇 This evening, we saw 2 teeny baby buns in there!! I’m glad I left the corner hole and the nesting material for them. They’re only wee bigger than our red onions! 🥹💕

So, I’ve got a win-win plan for some of my leftover seeds. I’m gonna germinate them and plant them for wildlife right outside of the fence of my community garden plot.

Cottontails LOVE green bean and okra plants just as much as kale. 🐰

I’ll “sow” the squash/pumpkin/etc seeds for other small creatures to harvest. 🐹🐭

Three wasp houses for paperWasps now. We’ll see how they do.

This spring, two more queen wasps made their nest inside of the plastic storage bench. But the surface is too slick for their nest to stay attached when they get too big to support the weight. I’ve carefully attached their nests to two new waspHouses last week while the weather was still cool.

Today at the community garden, a fellow gardener told us that she carefully moved the cottontail nest (with babies) in her plot to right outside in a plastic pot. Please pray for the poor cottontail mom who now has to find her babies and move them to a safer place.

We also have a cottontail nest in our plot. We just let them use our plot as a safe nursery. They’ve been nesting in our plot every year, we know the drill. We run a #humaneGarden.

The baby cottontail buns are growing up fast in the herb bed in my community garden plot. 🥹🥰💕🐰✨ They were out of the nest, and we got a glimpse of them this evening!
By the way, their mom is always lurking nearby.

Got more kale from the #communityGarden. First baby summer squashes! And PEAS!! 💚

By the way, the cottontail babies in the herb bed are doing well in the nest! (🐰🐰 🐇 I peeked. 👀🥰)

Everything is growing well. 🙏🌧️ Cucumbers have many flowers.

Huston, we have a nest…? 👀🐰

It’s not the first time. I’m pretty sure it’s a cottontail nest. They’ve been using my herb bed for several years.

Good thing, I’ve planted a whole bed of Lacinato kale. They’re caged and protected now, but I’ll share when they’re plenty. 🌱✨

Planted some tiny basil, cilantro and arugula seedlings in some pots in my community garden plot. Hope they don’t get eaten by little creatures that live in my plot. 😆🤞The summer squash and zucchini seedlings have visibly grown and looking healthy.

My flowerbed today. It’s getting there—not sure where, but it’s on the way. 😁💚✨ *to the thicket* 👀

The volunteer Pokeweed is demanding attention in this pic. 😂

Had a chance to relocate the small #paperWasp nest to the #waspHouse this evening.
As I suspected, the nest wasn’t well-adhered to the smooth plastic lid. It would have fallen off eventually as the nest gets bigger/heavier. It came off easily.
The queen flew around nervously while we worked to set it up. I forgot to bring a button, so I sacrificed one from my shirt.
I didn’t see her find her nest in the new location. Pls send good vibes her way! Thank you.🙏❤️🏠🐝

Here’s the video of the successful relocation of the #paperWasp nest in 2020.
(🔊 BGM: classical piano music is used; Scriabin)

I’m afraid this plastic cap isn’t safe for them anymore—a spider took a residence last summer.

Transplanted the sprouted green beans yesterday. Not much to see, so have a cottontail! The #communityGarden is infested with rabbits! 😆🥰💚🐇

Here’s my plot. It’s across from the common sitting area I tooted earlier.

I pulled some seriously invasive plants, removed dead plants and planted a cluster of rhubarbs we got from the vacated plot we helped clean. Oh! I harvested some first GarlicChive, aka Nira in Japanese. 🤗😋💚

*I’m spent* #CommunityGarden common area cleanup today, and haven’t sat down since 8:30 this morning. (also went for an evening walk to minimize any physical pain, cooking now.)

Among other things, I cleaned up this little sitting area. 🤗💚✨

We found a birdbath in the vacated plot which we also clean up for the new gardener. 🕊️

A chipmunk came to inspect the area when I was done. 🐿️

There was an empty mouse nest in the small brown plastic storage bench in my community garden plot. It’s been such a rainy winter, this mouse mom probably had to find a dry place.
I took the nest out and left it in the corner of the herb bed. Maybe some birds would make use of the down feathers?
Now I just need to remember to bring some vinegar to clean the inside of the thing.

Ahh can’t wait for the spring.

#squirrel #garden PSA:

If you provide an empty pot of organic soil, squirrels would go use that to roll in it. And *possibly* leave the planted pots alone. 🪴🐿️😉

My plot. There are still some kales and turnips. I took some higher kale leaves and left them on the ground for the bunny and whoever is hungry.

My bunny-residing, tiny-rodent-present community garden plot produces well. We got a tons of green beans as well as some tomatoes, bittermelons, peppers, etc. the other day!
