good idea t. I'm buying Sigette a little plastic greenhouse she can put
on a deck for her houseplants.

We had one of those, and my mom did, too. They were good for a starter place for growing things.

Pork (% Protein ? 11.9, % Fat ? 45, Calories/Ib ? 2,050)

The flavor of rabbit meat is what actually draws people to it.

Its organoleptic properties are tenderness, and juiceness. Its
flavor is not strong; it is comparable to the taste of turkey. Its is a
white meat and it has been found to provide good health and
prevent excess fat, heart diseases, high cholesterol, high blood
pressure, diabetics and cancer among those who eat it.

Actullay rabbit has to much protein and not enough fat and zero Carbohydrate. That's why you can't live on them unless you eat the head and all, fried guts anyone?
My grandfather use to raise rabbit New Zealan Whites and they wre very tasty. I use to hunt for them with my brothers and dad then we'd clean em up and eat them later and spitting the pellets at each other, that didn't last long with my fathers long arms smacking us. Touch of hillbilly in me.

I got my garden tilled and some lettuce, raddish's and oinions in. We had a frost last night but it should hurt those and I covered them up with straw before I went to bed last night. I enjoy gardening so much I would like to get a hot house and tractor to open up some more ground but that will wait till I retire from my day job and have more time. I will be getting some yard birds and rabbit too sooner or later. Just have to find the time to build me the houses and do it right. Cyg is quite correct nothing like fresh eggs veggies and meat and I go all organic and so far do pretty well.

So it's the (lack of) CALORIES that hurts us if we eat nothing but rabbit!

Gotcha.
