Ah yes, the adorable little 'killer rabbit' (think Monty Python)...lucky he got your delphiniums and not YOU!! haha:-)

Oh! I saw one of those in my yard today. Pesky little things! There was one by the garden too. I guess I better find a spray before they demolish everything. Sometimes, things come back better after being taken down! Let's hope!?

Tessa at Blunders with Shoots, Blossoms 'n Roots said...

Yes, really cute if in someone else's garden! I'm so sorry :(. Darn little killer bunny!

I agree with everyone else, cute if not in your garden. Hope it moves on and leaves the rest of your plants alone.

Hermes said...

Me too, cute if somewhere else other than my garden. And grey squirrels and especially Deer!

tina said...

Nope, I don't find them cute at all. They can be most destructive. Time to get a cat or a dog for sure.

Patsi 'Garden Endeavors' said...

I see everyones in agreement. I'm sure there's somekind of spray out there to deter it.

We got our moles to move to are neighbors yard a few years back(I guess that's where they went). Wonder how I can do it with this one and only rabbit. And no Tina, not a cat or dog. lol

Jan and Tessa,
Monty Python and killer bunny...funny girls.

Ulrike,
Grow back better ?
Not sure about that hope. :(

Looks like she ate her weight in garden plants. Hope she doesn't have a family stashed somewhere close by that she will be bringing over for dinner some night.

Story of my life Patsi...I live with rabbits on a daily basis.....you learn what NOT to plant.....and sometimes they do come back better (that is what I have found).....

Kim and Victoria said...

Oooooooohhhhh Nooooooooooo!!!!!!! I'm so thankful we don't have bunnies.

Patsi 'Garden Endeavors' said...

Marnie,
Oh no...a family !!!

Cheryl,
When just buying new plants...it's disappointing.
She's not touching the Kale or Romaine lettuce.
What's with that ?

Patsi 'Garden Endeavors' said...

Victoria,
No bunnies ever ?
I'll have to post the Caster Bean plants...HUGH leaves!! Amazing what SUNSHINE can do.
Think I'll wait a week or so. Wish I knew what I did with your other seeds. :(

Sheila said...

I can relate! In my garden they cherry pick the plants they like best! They have done quite a number on the veggie garden.

Frances said...

Not-cute-not=cute-not-cute ad nauseum.

The delph loss is a travesty of the highest proportions.

Devil rodents.

BTW, I am a firm zone 7, not 6, just noticing your sidebar.

Shady Gardener said...

Cute? NOT! Sorry about the voracious bunny. Perhaps he'll go next door, now? Not that we'd wish hardship on anyone else. (Do you own a "live trap?") ;-)

Patsi 'Garden Endeavors' said...

Sheila,
Just today lost 2 more perennials and 3 annuals.
I'm getting sick.
~~
Frances,
Yes, a travesty !
Will change your zone.
~~
Shady,
We have a trap. Using it tomorrow !!!!!!
We'll find a nice home for him/her.

Roses and stuff said...

Rabbits are cute, but a real nuisance! I didn't think they would eat Delphiniums... Aren't they poiosonous?

Patsi 'Garden Endeavors' said...

Katarina,
Howdy !
Maybe that's why I haven't seen him today.:)

Chad and Brandy said...

Funny bunny. They don't seem to eat anything other than grass in our yard. Well, except for a few blueberries.

Colleen Wms said...

We are just inundated with rabbits this year as well. They are eating everything. They are NOT cute at all anymore to me. To destroy that lovely blue delphinium as well is a crime!
