How does your Garden grow?

Wild rabbits, of which there seem to be an infinite supply. There is one sitting right outside my window here at work, in fact. Starting at me. Daring me to plant a garden out there so that he can eat everything in it. Well, not today, Peter Cottontail! I know I've lost that battle. The only way I am going to be able to feed myself with a garden is if I use it as bait and then make stew out of all the rabbits who show up for the feast!

The rabbits continue their assault upon me! Today at work a baby rabbit ran into the shipping department while the doors were open. We eventually managed to pull him out from behind the desk where he was hiding, trap him in a jacket, and put him back outside. I voted for stew, but the others wouldn't have it

So I spared him from my stew today, but if I catch him near my house eating all my plants, all bets are off...
Which reminds, me - the repellent you spray on your plants to keep rabbits away? This is apparently nothing but a delicious salad dressing to them.

I don't know whether he was still with his mother. The shipping manager said she saw a bird pick him up and try to fly off with him, but then dropped him. So either way, this little guy had a couple of lucky escapes today.

Pet rabbits are cute. But farmers hate wild rabbits eating the crops.
Now the roses have nice healthy buds , I noticed the leaves on one particular rose bush has black spot already. I know it wont kill the roses but I don't want it to spread.
So, what is the best natural prevention for this ugly blight? Some kind of spray I can use.‘Roses do not bloom hurriedly; for beauty, like any masterpiece, takes time to blossom.’

Originally posted by Megan View PostAh, thanks Peter, I'm pleased you mentioned using milk - with 2 parts water, how often should I spray it on and what time of day? Also I will grow chives underneath the worst one, though there are pansies there . Is it too late to plant chives?'Man know thyself'
