Bunny update

With all the spices and repellents Maggie dumped on her tulips to repel the rabbits, I was afraid the plants will wither, but they miraculously survived. At least so far. Unfortunately, the rabbits kept visiting and nibbling the leaves. The bite marks are much smaller now, probably because of the amount of the hot pepper powder Maggie generously applied, but there are new marks nevertheless. Today we changed the strategy and bought chicken fence, wrapped it around the flower bushes and now our garden looks like an unsuccessful sci-fi exhibition with three wire-fence cylinders. Makes me wonder what good is it to have flowers if you can't have them grow and blossom openly in the garden. I suggested Maggie to plant something with thorns next year. Or, better yet, a meat-eating plant. One that can digest a rabbit.
