This is Nathan.
Lots of updates.
On a kinda educated whim, we decided to start the meat bunnies early. Luckily I worked a couple 55 hour weeks and had a great paycheque, So Thursday we went out to buy a cage, food, etc for a couple bunnies that we found on kijiji.
We have 2 bunnies, a 3 yr old female black and white dutch and a 4 yr old male White New Zealand Giant. We paid 10 dollars for the pair. Pics will follow from Grace. I am no good at that part of things.
Our plan is to raise them for their meat. There are many issues and unknowns that we still need to answer. Like neither of us has ever butchered an animal in our life. It makes me nervous, but I am sure that we will figure it out.
Over the weekend we got hit with a huge rain storm. When I built the greenhouse, I didn't keep the angle of the top very steep due to the angled raised beds that I was working around. The poly saged in the weight of the rain and the entire center of the greenhouse collapsed. Luckily after I drained the water the greenhouse regained its shape. Once the temperature heats up more, I will use a couple rolls of handyman special and make sure that it won't collapse with plants in it.
My wife surprised me the other day. She bought me some man jewelry. A single piece actually. A hunting knife 8 inches long. Yes, my wife buys me blades. She's the greatest.
Of course, over the weekend the the entire family got the flu. Really sucky. But we are getting over it now, so hopefully I will be able to finish some projects.
More next time. Hopefully not as long of a wait.
Cheers.
