Darn Pesky Rabbits!!!

[SimplyPotty]

can anyone suggest plants that rabbits don't like to eat? Everytime I put something in either a rabbit or a squirrel or something eats it

only thing i can think of is a shotgun lol

Yeah but that is really cruel, a farmer offered to do the dirty deed last year and I wasn't happy about it but he had a freezer full in the end. Just wondered if they dislike anything so I don't feel bad this time. Live n let live after all!

You either have to shoot them, or fence them out. You can't garden successfully with rabbits. There's not much they won't eat. And they breed like - well - rabbits.

I got a book from the Library about perennial plants and in one of the chapters there was a whole page of what you could grow that rabbits wouldn't eat. I wish I could remember the name of the book, but it might be worth while having a look for it in your local library SP.

As Alice says fencing them out is really the only option, which I have managed to do successfully.

I got this book a couple of weeeks ago

Amazon.co.uk: gardening with the enemy

lots of supposedly rabbit proof plants listed.. not as much use to me as I'd hoped as i wanted it for my plot where flowers are a nice bonus (actually anything is a nice bonus currently as still nettle clearing, but planning a cutting patch in the fullness of time) and I haven't tested any of them out yet but might be a worthwhile investment

Thanx guys, will read up as much as I can. But never give up!
