It is a beautiful sunny morning here at the Menagerie. Today we are going to definitely get the outside done. I think the fresh air and cooler weather will do us a lot of good. After yard and garden clean up is started we will begin fixing rabbit row up. Get all the cages cleaned up and fresh. Once we are done getting the last of the rabbits out of the basement we are going to clean it up. All the shavings and poo will be placed in the front garden bed. We aren't going to worry about tilling to prep the beds we are going to laydown cardboard and put all the mulch and compost on top and let it rot. We have decided to delay the greenhouse building (besides the need for materials) to let the soil become healthier. We are going to concentrate on building up the soil before we plant again. Carolina clay has got to be one of the hardest things in the world to work with.

I think we will also do everyting in raised beds using a lot of the scrap wood we have laying around. It should be an interesting project and will probably fill up quite a bit of time.

Thank you for your kind comments!

I have a dear friend who lives up your way in Traphill - are you near there by any chance?

Have fun "playing in the dirt today" - it will be well worth it next Spring!
Have a great week!
