    Doesn't matter whether the sun is out or not. There's a huge black cloud hanging over here. Some bl&&dy rabbit family has just discovered the plot.

    Oh backyardee, my parents had this problem a few years ago and ended up fencing the entire garden, even though my dad is quite a good shot. Yvie is also plagued by rabbits so you will have her sympathies later.

    I have been to the GCimage and bought a rescue lavander and gave in and bought a Queen Victoria lobelia, having failed to grow it from seedimage. The sun came out for an hour so I was able to pot them on but raining again now.

    I have just been bought a reduced basil plant-finally- you have you lobelia plant!!image

    It is too wet -the ground need to dry out soon, so I can get the dahlias in before I go away.

    Thanks, Kate--it's black and blue and really swollen,but it's bearable unless I knock it.

    Projects will be on hold for a day or two.I love sedums as well--never had a problem with vine weevil---but I have many birds in my garden, so perhaps that's why.It's almost tent caterpillar season here, and signs are that it will be a bad year for them. No sign here--yet.They love roses and fruit trees especially.

    Hi Kate 1123,

    Yes I've dusted down the shotgun. Wiring off the garden is impractical. All 5 acres would be a pain, even my 2 acres would cost a fortune. I plan to put some ramsons along the bank where they appear to be getting in. They haven't set up home here, but are coming from a field higher up. Still they might not be able to smell 95% of my rabbit munchy plants................ like delphinium, lupins, etc. over the garlic scent of the ramsons
