    I used to pick the rabbits a nice weed salad every morning. They'd eat quite a range of plants given the choice. Sorrel, dandelions, clover, ribwort plantain, coltsfoot, raspberry leaves, strawberry leaves, loads of herbs but parsley and sage were popular, hairy bittercress, vetch, carrot leaves, kale and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting. My garden looks a lot wilder now without its daily weeding. If you put them out on the lawn though they still seem to prefer the grass and eat around the dandelions.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I didn't realise that beans germinate and grow so fast. Mine have come up miles twearly. Fortunately there's loads more in the packet.
    I'll plant the seedlings out, but I don't hold out much hope. Yet another lesson learnt. This vegetable growing thing is much harder than growing flowers😕

    Speaking of orange I bought a chocolate orange yesterday as they were on sale after Easter. I can't believe they've hollowed out the segments to make them lighter. Another case of market research concluding that the public are happier being lied to then charged extra money.

    I'm sure Queenie can hardly control her excitement at the thought of spending hours with him.

    I'd noticed that too. It's all a con.

    Queenie out of Blackadder might be willing to be a stand-in. He might not notice.
