Garden trouble makers!
13 years ago
Hello everyone!
We have been getting some letters regarding, gardening! And more specifically, little trouble makers.
This time we got a note from a few people linking us to user
mjriv1's journal.
Here is the problem at hand:
____________________________________________________
I am having a problem with some plants in my garden. Rabbits.
Peas, beans, onions, garlic and even a recently sprouted peach tree, about 3" high, are all being eaten to the ground.
What I note is that they do not touch the tomatoes, potatoes, basil, mint, watercress, chives, strawberries or parsley.
Now, I an thinking of planting something they don't like around the patches they do eat. I hope this will keep them out. The problem with most of the above is they are 'weeds'. I planted extra curled parsley 2 years ago and the flat Italian type last year, Basil about 3 years ago. Now I have it sprouting all over the yard any place that gets a bit of water.
So does anyone know of something I can plant as a boarder that will do the job but not try to take over?
Oh, Iris plants seem good too. I had some squash sprout in my compost heap and it did not last the day, but the ones I have in the front yard in the clear plastic containers are up near some Iris plants and so far have not been touched.

Any more idea's? Also. Pests in general. Cat's, deer, birds, squirrels, slugs and snails? We all have different trouble critters with our gardens. Let's help one another.
Any advice would be appreciated. We here at, creature.comforts, will also try to look into this and see if we can be any help.
