I am boarding a couple of rabbits at the moment who are trying to lose weight They are getting lots of forage and are scooping it all up, thorns and stings and all :lol:
C'mon this can't be true :lol: No rabbit tries to lose weight. They all eat as much as they can, when they can........don't they? Methinks a HUMAN has decided that these poor rabbits are a little bit too bonny, n'est-ce pas?:lol:

I think I might have put the idea into their little heads, it's true :lol:
Loads & loads of Blackthorn gathered today - probably far too much for three bunnies but I'm a woman possessed. Also lots of sloe berries - no green ones picked this year so hoping my sloe gin won't taste of cyanide this year. F in law still here (taken up permanent residence) so took my coffee out for some tranquil time & a big hairy dog stuck his nose in it & had a big slurp !! Bad doggy

At new place?! Bad doggy - should be welcoming new neighbours not stealing from them :lol:
Not ever seen Blackthorn down here. I shall have to have another look at a photo to remind myself what it looks like even

No - out the back of rented house. There is a blackthorn near new house. I'll post a photo one day soon if you like madmax :lol:

So today on an impromptu visit to no man's land, I found huge amounts of dead nettle (among stinging nettle). I wasn't expecting it to be in flower at this time of year?
Yes, we've got quite a lot around the property at the moment. Now I would have agreed with you and would have said it was a Spring flowering plant, but I've just checked in my book and it says Jan-Dec :shock:
There's still quite a variety of plants to be had here. I think the warmish weather a week or so ago plus the rain since has brought them on. Lots of the Spring flowering perennials are also trying to flower again. If the nights get much colder then I don't think that will continue. We and the rabbits are making the most of it
Dandelions are having a spurt again!
Im going stripping some leaves off trees before its to late. They have eaten most of my dried stuff now so will have to dry some more.
Will be quite a rush to get enough forage for the winter now? I'd better have a look around myself - only hawthorn here really ..
The leaves on my apple and pear trees are going yellow, and there seems to be a small window to pick them before they turn .
