Rabbits love clover and all legumes actually. So if you got dutch white clover in your lawn they will go for that first. They will be enough to discourage most eating of garden plants. They avoid everything except my sunflower which they have been eating while they are low. Or at least something is.
I have white clover but they still go for the asters. There’s no clover in the front though.
I also have a groundhog who I think also eats the plants, maybe he’s involved.
I think it’s just the asters are new and relatively low, the established ones in the back don’t get eaten anymore.
Me planting in my garden meant to feed wildlife:
I've made peace with it.
Plants are rabbit food, if they die they die and new plants get added.
Looking at the health of the whole garden / ecosystem has made me very zen. Especially when pulling things I don't want or have too much of. I've been trying up transfer some to abandoned areas for things that aren't common. They usually die but they were going to die when I pulled them anyhow.
My husband laughed at me for pulling weeds and throwing them in the yard, but they ARE the "lawn", I don't care if they grow out there, just want to advantage the flowers and food plants in the defined spaces.
I always mow in anything I have pulled into the yard
I think sunflower seeds are just so delicious they get eaten by everything. Squirrels, birds, who knows what all. I can get sunflowers, but this patch of about a dozen sunflowers this year came from about 60 seeds.
I love sunflowers. Though the sunflower has the same issue of sucking the ground dry of the nutrients, you will need to keep rotating the place, otherwise it will take everything from the ground to the state that nothing will grow there for years.
Yeah I rotate everything, usually would put them in the front garden since they are showy, this year in the veg garden because it's so hot in the summer they give some shade to the rest of the stuff. It's a mess right now, the butternut squash got attacked so bad I think it has to be removed in a plastic bag. And something is attacking the sprawling watermelon plants too, but those seem to be surviving.
I get it. I have been doing packets of seeds to get one or two even when I press into the soil.
I get sprouts and then those get chomped. Everyone loves Sunflowers
