I can imagine the damage a bunch of rabbits can do.<br />I did some poking around and found this recipe: Make a bad-tasting rabbit cocktail by grinding together three hot peppers, three large onions, and one whole bunch of garlic. Add water to cover, and place into a covered container overnight. Strain, and then add enough additional water to make a gallon of the mixture. Spray onto plants, repeating after rainfall. Commercial products using pungent garlic oil are also worth a try. There are more tips on the Almanac website:http://www.almanac.com/pest/rabbitsJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-88062619853127767332016-07-29T08:17:08.269-07:002016-07-29T08:17:08.269-07:00This garden is absolutely stunning!

I have some of these beautiful perennials in my garden and this year, the rabbits have eaten things they've never bothered with before. They've even eaten my hostas down to the ground! Killing them is not an option for me. I just couldn't. Every living thing has a place in my backyard eco system, but I just don't know how to protect my perennials anymore. Anyone have any suggestions?

I find in my own garden that they don't become a real problem until mid to late July. One rose they love is my pink Explorer climbing rose.

I am pretty sure I know how he'd answer your question. "You have to keep on top of things," he'd council. Joe's retired and he spends most of his spring, summer and fall in the garden. He has the time to keep a close eye on a perennial's spread and reign it in. Most of us don't have the luxury of that much free time. All we can do is admire his garden and his dedication.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-85544104962415549742016-07-12T11:14:51.315-07:002016-07-12T11:14:51.315-07:00This is "my" garden!!
