Just Dork-Slap Me Now

Since visiting Boston a couple of years ago and seeing all the cool front door planters filled with kale, I have wanted to try it myself.  I found a couple of kale plants and proceeded to plant two of the plants in pots by the front door and the other two plants in the bed by the driveway entrance.  I watched the kale by the driveway to make sure it was thriving and suddenly noticed one day that it was a lot smaller and bare and....BEING EATEN BY THE STUPID RABBITS!!!!

Oh, I was so mad.  Yet, I was the one dumb enough to plant rabbit food where the rabbits would have a hey day with it.  They couldn't reach the kale in the planters, so no problem there.  I was driving to take Amy to work when I noticed, but called Misha and asked her to pull the kale out of the bed and plant it in a planter.  She stuck them next to the kale by the front door.  I just wanted them moved out of the reach of the rabbits.  The next morning, I moved the pathetic, pitiful-looking kale to pots on the deck.  I hope to see them flourish there.  They are still looking spindly and have that ravaged-by-rabbits look.  Notice how lovely the one next to it looks?
