Gardening is unusually challenging here this spring; maybe the Devas are going haywire. We had 25 inches of rain between March 1st and the end of April; and it has rained almost every day so far in May, although not as heavily as in April. Despite this, I have managed to get about 3/4 of my Spring planting done, although I am still way behind. It's also been unseasonably cold, so my corn, beans and okra aren't germinating as well as I'd like.
I was planting tomatoes Monday morning, and found another obstacle. I mulch my garden heavily. I had just brushed aside some leaves, and was just about to plunge my trowel into the ground, when I noticed something moving right where I wanted to plant. I picked it up, and it was a baby rabbit, about 3 or 4 days old; its eyes weren't open yet. I then noticed 3 or 4 more in the same hole, that had been underneath the first one. So I put him back and recovered the nest with leaves.
I hope Mama rabbit moves them out of there soon; I need that space for a tomato plant.
