Rabbits
Do rabbits eat the leaves of narcissi?
I'm silently threatening to have rabbit pie with my next door neighbour's pet, which is left to run in the garden and keeps burrowing under my fence, excavating my compost bin, and will surely have a field day, literally, with my salad crops, carrots etc which I intend growing in containers this year. I have found a couple of pots of odd daff-type things, tops nibbled, which probably explains why there have been no flowers on them this year. Would a rabbit eat them? What might a rabbit eat which would give it a bad tummy-ache and put it off entering my garden? Pam in Bristol |

Rabbit fencing buried 6 inches down and 6 inches along (L Shaped) will do it, they haven't the intelligence to move back to start digging. Alternatively, borrow a Terrier. :-) Lots of Lettuce will kill rabbits I was always told. -- Regards Bob Hobden just W. of London |

I found a hole - a very large hole, (eat yer heart out, Wookey Hole!) beside the fence. Looking over the hole, there was no sign of wabbit, just a row of small cabbage plants. Then, a small cabbage began growing in reverse... Lots of Lettuce will kill rabbits I was always told. Yes, but it is indeed *LOTS*. -- Rusty Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
