  Hi Sue 113. How about trying Impatiens. Lots of different colours to make a lovely Summer display.

  Verdun's right. They'll have a go at anything. Plant your shrubs and less delicious things in beds and for mad colour if that's what you want, put your annuals and bedding in window boxes or hanging baskets up out of the way.

  I can sympathise - I seem to be growing things just for rabbits. They have grazed off all my chive flowers, alliums all have squared off leaves, the centaurea has been grazed down and my salvias have been eaten too. Oh, and lots of geraniums.  So I have cut chicken wire cloches to cover plants. Where the bed is large or plants are too numerous, I put up a frame with bamboo canes and threw a large net over the top. That prevented the allium flowers from being eaten. Hopefully things will come back and not be so tasty. I am also going to sprinkle some cayenne pepper around. Heartless maybe, but not poison.
