Rabbit Proof Planting (I hope)

After heavy rain, the little house garden soil was just right for planting up.
We took 4 trays of plants today and got them all in.
The sky was black but we didn`t get any hailstones...... we`ve just seen the size of them on the local news.


Gandalf remains dry under the cob eaves.






This is how the garden looks after today. We`ve surrounded each plant with chipped bark.
Steve has continued with the chipped bark on weed suppresant under the trees.















We did quite a bit of weeding in the raised bed as well. There were a lot of butterflies.
This is a small tortoiseshell on inula.


The wild area.


Teasels in flower.


Boomerang shaped courgettes. Not sure how this happened.

My list of rabbit-proof plants, researched from the internet.

Agastache
Nepeta
Origanum
Evening primrose
Astilbe
Bee balm
Foxglove
Lambs Ears
Salvia
Yarrow(!!!)
Aconitum
Alchemilla
Alstromeria
Myosotis
Marjoram
Pulmonaria

(The rabbits have attacked the yarrow in the garden)
It remains to be seen whether this list proves to be correct.
Will keep you posted.
