After finally deciding on a location for them, I planted two Zebrina mallows (Malva sylvestris) the other day. I think that was Wednesday. The very next morning one of them had turned into a stick, courtesy of a rabbit that I’ve seen around here. Then yesterday the other one had been chewed so it’s a stick now too. I’m so mad. They had such beautiful blossoms starting to bud and then open. So aggravating!

We have a lot of coyotes here and the rabbit population is kept in check at a certain point. I know how frustrated you must feel. I used a deer/rabbit repellent spray that worked well, unless rain took it all off and the rabbit was nearby. I just got tired of spraying and the stuff is like 13.00 a bottle so I went with the fencing.
