Good Turnips, Interplanted Onions, the end of the Rabbits

Hakurei turnips seem to be a big hit--everyone seems surprised that turnips can be small and tender instead of woody and dense.

Began harvesting our first spring onions of the season.  We interplanted most of them in beds of flowers and squash across the farm.  It’s now a kind of treasure hunt to find the bunching onions every week, but it’s not the most efficient way to harvest.

The baby bunnies in the carrot bed are all dead.  Most likely their mother somehow died, and without her the babies were not far behind.

Need More Greens and Less Rabbits

Spinach and arugula are both big hits in our farmstand.  Should have planted 2 - 3 times as many beds.

As predicted, rabbits are making their impact known in the gardens.  They’ve eaten a full bed of peas (a trial mix from Row 7 seeds) and a bed of carrots as well.

The Rabbits

Found a nest of bunnies underneath a bed of carrots. Cute now but they’ll undoubtedly add to our rabbit troubles in the near future.
