    collie/grey, collie/whippet/grey ,beddie/whippet/grey ,,beddie/grey, beddie/whippet, whippet would all make good rabbit dogs from working lines and in the hands of a sensible owner. who would be prepared to put the time in training conditioning and entering the dog to rabbits.

    i set aside a area for a asparagus bed. bought 1 year old crowns. dont harvest 1st year. 2nd year you can start to harvest. it is a long term investment a asparagus bed can last for 20 years. produce each spring followed by fern like foliage which is cut down in autumn. i know its a long wait no crop 1st season but its well worth the wait in my opinion.
