Well, I feel like I got a fair number of things accomplished this week, despite working a good portion of it. On the homestead, I was able to do a good amount of weeding, cut the lawn (I hate having a lawn), and overseeded the carrots, which didn’t seem to germinate as well as I would have liked. The potatoes, onions are garlic are all doing well, and I’m sure it won’t be long until the tomatoes and peppers catch up.
The rabbits are all doing well; I took the opportunity to sex the two older litters (Violet has 3 boys, 1 girl, while Sabine has 2 of each). Violet’s babies in particular are growing very well, every one was at least 2 lbs, 6 oz. They will be turning 6 weeks old in four days, which brings them closer to weaning time.
With the threat of 30C+ weather coming up in the next few days, I’m fully preparing to move rabbits into the shop, which stays very cool in the heat. Granted, I am still waiting on new stacking cages (they were supposed to arrive today), and I will be ever so thankful when the bunny barn is build (which will have air conditioning). I can only do the best I can, though.
