BP had it right.<br />So, I'm guessing we're talking about the 'real' rabbits.<br />PatgPatghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046665022709722606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-17931650957522985952011-06-16T12:15:15.168-04:002011-06-16T12:15:15.168-04:00Paula, you've definitely made progress. You...Paula, you've definitely made progress. You're garden is beautiful!<br /><br />And I love Elmer Fudd. "I'm hunting WABBITS!" Flashback!<br /><br />We don't have much of a flower garden this year, but we get groundhogs and deer who eat our veggie garden. Or we used to. Now we have electric fence around it. Works like a charm. Although I do remember one determined old groundhog who would start running, get up a full head of steam and then just burst through the fence. He was either through before he got zapped, or he didn't care. I think that one ended up with lead poisoning...Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755947919433555176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-30800319844812174322011-06-16T10:53:03.457-04:002011-06-16T10:53:03.457-04:00Pat, I meant that in a positive way.

River too deep and swift to ask anyone to dive down and get them. Plus the up and down weather is killer. I posted pictures of my gorgeous azaleas on FB a few weeks ago, and one of them got something that is just scary.<br />Watership Down, Ramona??? They Won in that story!! <br />You might want to check our Blood Wedding, an episode of Midsomer Murders from Netflix. There's a scene in it where a sad servant is sitting petting a rabbit just before she breaks it's neck. A little indirect 'killer' satisfaction.<br />PatgPatghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046665022709722606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-45082209054061502292011-06-16T10:05:29.326-04:002011-06-16T10:05:29.326-04:00Bunnies are evil.

One year they ate all of my beautiful crocuses, hundreds of them that had bloomed for one day.<br /><br />Bunnies don't eat things that are fragrant, BTW. I have gone out and sprayed perfume around my flowers, which is just weird, right?<br /><br />Bunnies are good in a fricasse, or in Watership Down.Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627775403015684868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-30044059823492917072011-06-16T08:37:21.656-04:002011-06-16T08:37:21.656-04:00I recommend rabbit stew.

You can get animal repellent at most stores that contains castor oil. They don't like that. You have to keep reapplying it every so often, though.<br /><br />I don't mind the deer, even though they like to eat my grapevines. They're so pretty!<br /><br />I've been using Squirrel Away in my bird feeders, but apparently my squirrels actually like hot pepper.Joyce Tremelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498392016497131719noreply@blogger.com
