Hi Cheryl,
It's just shrubs and flowers. The rabbits ate my little lilac bush during the winter.
They even chewed on my roses with the thorns!
I can't plant many things because they're so tasty. I have a serviceberry shrub in front that's still surrounded by chicken wire. I don't know if it's safe to take it off.
Oh, they also chewed up my burning bush this winter. I like pretty, ornamental plants, but so do they, too much!

Good enough to keep the rabbits out of my veggies.
Also, I do plant stuff especially for the rabbits.
(cuz I'm cool and that's how I roll) 
I put a few johhny jump ups in, and they think that's their personal salad bar. Those must taste better then the other stuff, because the bunnies nibble the johnnies and that's about all.
I do still have to put the lettuce in pots. But I ain't lost a pepper or tomato plant yet.
Funny thing too, the rabbits never eat the johhnies completely gone. They just nibble them down so they'll keep growing - like they know it's their crop. |
Oh that is so CUTE! What good bunnies you have!
Ours eat the tomato plants unless we surround them with chicken wire!

Thanks for that link Cheryl! I've had mine over ten years now so I need a new pair!
