Dead garden fun
Our garden is still producing beans, broccoli and tomatoes. But they aren’t worth picking anymore. It’s officially past its prime, and I took down the fence a couple of weeks ago to let the critters have at it.
It’s fun to see the birds fluttering around among the ragged sunflowers, eating seeds and bugs. But as it turns out, my daughters managed to have some fun out there too.
This bunny is, I believe, the same one that inspired the fence in the first place. He looks like a gangly adolescent now, and I got a few photos from the kitchen window at dusk the other night of him giving himself fully to the task of raiding the pole beans. I’m glad he’s still around.

I love the images that come to mind of the animals enjoying the end of your garden. That last picture immediately brought to mind a song I learned in a Kindergarten class, “Oh, John the Rabbit – oh, yes – had a mighty bad habit – oh, yes – of going to my garden – oh, yes.” As I recall, the rest of the song lists the various vegetables that he ate, which much have included green beans – Oh, YES!
