This came ready for me to listen to at the perfect time, I am currently battling the baby bunnies WHO ARE DESTROYING MY POLLINATOR GARDEN!!! The bunnies have done nothing for me! The pollinators are life! #justcallmeelmerfudd #killthewabbit
Soubhiville I have accepted that I can never have certain plants due to bunnies. This is the second year they ate my coneflowers, and last year they ate about half of what I tried to grow. Even things the nurseries told me were supposed to be bunny-proof. 😔 So I don‘t feel too bad when my dog chases them- as long as she doesn‘t actually get them. (It has happened a few times.) 10mo
mcctrish @Soubhiville the CONEFLOWERS!!! My god they have been destroyed 😩😩 if the bunnies would just eat all of the damn flowers I‘d almost be okay with it, but it‘s just carnage and destruction left in their wake 🤬 they bite and toss! I‘m totally okay with your dog biting and tossing ✊🏻( my neighbour keeps telling me to track the carnage and only buy what the bunnies leave alone - but how do I know beforehand 🤷🏻♀️) 10mo
Soubhiville I asked at the nursery when buying baby plants, then when I realized that wasn‘t working I went to the internet. There are lots of articles about plants the rabbits don‘t like. I‘ve had good luck this year with Salvia, some flowering sages, verbena and Lantana, black eyed susans- they nibble it but don‘t eat it all, maybe because the stems are very hairy?, and Mexican Heather. Last year the only thing they left alone was periwinkle. 10mo
mcctrish @Soubhiville bunnies have mowed my black eyed Susan‘s down, exactly the same as the cone flowers - they do leave lavender and daisies alone ( although the babies this year have been attacking the daisies ) hostas they leave alone once they get grown BUT it depends on type of hosta and bunny ( periwinkle is considered invasive here so I have steered clear of it) 10mo
