Rabbits vs Pansies, The Saga Continues

 

 A message from the rabbits:

“Yum. Not only did she plant food for us; she put mini marshmallows on top!”

Message from me: “how can any living creature eat something covered in mothballs?!”

You may recall my earlier post when I wrote about planting pansies. Remember how they looked then?

Most of them DO still look that way. But the rabbits have left their mark on a few.

No, the mothballs did NOT deter the rabbits from my pansies.  You can see the stems where they just chomped off the blooms.

So today, I began spraying the pansies with Liquid Fence, or as Marshall calls it: Liquid Stench. 

And if the rabbits still eat them after that, I’ll know without a doubt that they have iron stomachs.  And absolutely no sense of smell.

  1. We knew you had “special” rabbits when we visited because they stayed out all day and did not seem to mind us walking around the yard. Connor thinks you should keep your distance from the rabbits – they could be dangerous.

  2. Are you sure it was rabbits? Could it be deer? Or could it have been one of your ghosts come for a visit? Lots to ponder.

  3. And your pansies looked so good when you planted them. Maybe it was the deer. Shucks!

  4. Could be deer – I think they’ll go around anything to eat everything, too….
