Patty, it is cold here in the southwestern desert of Arizona also. Got down to 65 last night and with this storm front that is moving through it probably will even get down to 60 later this week.

Absolutely! I have been using rabbit manure for years now, I have never regulated how much I put on. I have never bothered to mulch it first either, it is one of the three manures that doesn't need to be mulched first. (can't think of the other two, anyone remember?)Just be careful you use only the manure, the urine should not be thrown on, it may burn the roots. As a matter of fact, I had been without rabbits for a couple years, and have just bought two new ones, specifically for their manure. (You know- Steph, my daughter, has been asking questions about them) You will see a wonderful improvement from before on your plants. Let us northerners live vicariously through you, and let us know how the garden is coming along, won't you?
