Parsley
We have had lots of problems with our parsley this year - we usually sow in
the greenhouse then plant out at the appropriate time. This year, each time we have planted out, the rabbits have eaten them - even chewing through netting which we had used as protection. We still had some in pots in the greenhouse on benches and now find they have also been eaten - can rabbits jump onto benches??!! We do sometimes have problems with mice eating things on the benches but wouldn't have thought they would go for the parsley Jeanne |

Until I investigated I had not realised they will even get up in trees and bushes to eat succulent leaves. :-(((( |
