Those bunnies are great, especially on the street.
Marie, quick unrelated question: I've planted a couple of garlic cloves in a pot on my windowsill and they're growing. Can I eat the green parts? Would I want to?
JMH - yes, the green parts are edible, and quite good, though a bit tough when bigger. I think, though, that if you keep nibbling them they won't be able to make the new bulb under the soil grow big and fat, since the bulbs' 'food' comes from the leaves? So, either you get little garlicky snippets from the greens (omelette), or wait...and wait...and wait :-)
The wait is actually worth it, though. It is SO cool to eat your own head of garlic. Um...why does that sound wrong?

Dinahmow - yes, that's the hood!
