Dear Reader,
I've always wanted to plant a vegetable garden. In fact, one summer when I lived in Wisconsin, I hired a man to come and dig a 14' x 12' garden in my backyard. I had big plans. He did a nice job. Rich, black, freshly tilled soil, was ready and waiting for me to plant some seeds. But I never got around to it. Oh, I think I put in a row of carrots, but then I got busy, and the weeds in the garden got busy doing their thing--and their thing won out over my good intentions.
A friend of mine loves his vegetable garden and so do the rabbits. Frustrated, and refusing to put up a wire mesh fence around his garden--he says it ruins the visual ambiance--he's trying something new this year.
He decided that if you "do unto rabbits..." they'll do unto you too, fairly. So this year, a few feet away from his garden, he planted a vegetable smorgasboard for the bunnies. And apparently he thinks they can read too, because he pounded a sign in the ground: "Rabbits, welcome. Help yourself to these vegetables."
The rabbits are quite pleased. They've been enjoying the main course in the "rabbit" garden and then after dinner, they just hop on over to his other garden for dessert.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
