Most of my life I've been able to grow anything. When I was a kid I had all sorts of garden plants, and my aquarium plants were a wonder to see. I've never seen the equal. I just had the touch, a green thumb. In Plantation, Florida, we had fruit trees; the tangerines and mangos were my favorite. Plus we had a little vegetable garden.

For the past ten years I've been trying to grow hollyhocks. They grow so well in Tucson. The people behind us have a whole row of them on their patio. Last year we bought three different kinds of hollyhock seeds, which I put in peat pots. I managed to get one to show signs of life. That I planted in the yard, and in the past month it has been really growing.

A bunny rabbit ate it.

I lived in Plantation and Davie.

If the ground isn't sugar sand or coral, it's black muck. And things grew wild in the muck down there.

I wish I had some of that S. Fla. muck in my garden up here.

:coffee:

Bunny Pics!

Those rabbits ate all of my flowers down there!! Funny, they left the cacti alone. 😉

I had a bird feeder in my back yard. The seeds that got tossed out would grow into greens. Pretty soon I had bunnies, prairie dogs, and other assorted critters dining out there. We had one bunny who would hop right up to our back patio window and peek in. I enjoyed just sitting there and watching them all. I sure miss those days.

Here's a few pics.

Snowshoe Hares

Angel,

I've been seeing a lot of these guys when tromping around in the woods checking sap lines. They are still pure white but will be changing color soo0n.

Snowshoe Hares

Awww they are cute!! What color do they change to??

Those bunnies that we had in Tucson I swear they changed their colors like chameleons!! They could easily camouflage into the different colors of the desert landscape. I especially enjoyed watching a momma bunny with her kids. So cute!!! 🙂 (And glad they were wild; I didn't have to pick up rabbit pellets.)

PS: I sent you an email regarding syrup. Did you ever get it??? Sometimes when I send out emails they go to peoples spam boxes so I thought I would ask here. 🙂

Long-eared Rats

They are awful tasty for "long-eared rats", but I have never ate a rat (yet).
