Garden resident does sploot
This is Mama, a constant presence at the garden. She has moved into my tomato garden - though she comes and goes - and now I’m making a secure bunny garden for her so I can evict her from the other space. Currently, she does not have a nest in the tomato garden, thankfully. Anyway, here she is doing a sploot in the shade of the deck. Who knew? Not me. Splooting is not just for Corgis.
Wish me luck. She is a very determined rabbit.
Edit: As with all my (supposedly) secured gardens, I have a 4’ tall wire mesh fence with 2” openings around the tomato garden, and the fencing is lined with 18” x 1’ plastic fencing. They eat through the plastic so I’ve got chicken wire replacement for the plastic ready to go.
Here she’s in an open area.

Ta Da!
Snipped off a sucker from a Cowboy tomato plant less than a week ago and now I’ve got a new plant. Posting for those who may not know how easy and fast this is. Photo is from last night and there is more root growth today.

Herbicide in manure?
Any insight or info on this? My local community garden opened May 9 and a few people started planting right away. It’s May 24 and I’m still 10 days to two weeks away from planting. My concern is that 3 to 5 month old cow manure from a local resident who raises and sells cattle on a small scale has been spread onto the site. I’m concerned about herbicide contamination and wondering if it would already be showing in the plants put into the garden plots, so I’d have a heads up if that were the case. I don’t want to lose all my tomatoes and peppers. Any insight is appreciated.
