Yellow snow thing? Oh...!

(this would be far easier for a man I must say!) Chris, don't mean to be laughing, I totally want to hear if you try this, and especially if it works!

You guys are hilarious!! I must admit I did do this one time while camping to keep away a bear and it worked. Never thought it would work for rabbits. My daughters have a rabbit and I have never heard it utter a sound.

Good to know if I ever get a bear eating my plants!!

Good thing cougars aren't vegetarians.
And the bear don't come down into town here. Just bunnies, cougar, squirrels, skunks, racoons, possum and coyote. Oops, and wild turkey, they can sure do a number on a garden.

Lynn, I too had the black nylon bird netting on my new semp babies. I didn't have it on my planters though. I just laid the netting on top of them and tucked the ends under the trays. All my semps are on the staggered retaining wall. The deer hadn't bothered them at all till now. I figured they didn't like walking on rock and the walls are tall. Boy, was I wrong! Desperate need of food calls for desperate measures and semps eaten! We shall see how things turn out in spring. I have two barrels left to fill up and then a couple of planters. My barrels are covered with wire so they can't be eaten. Thank goodness!

LOL!! Yellow pee, marking territory,,, You all have me laughing so hard I'm in tears! Funny how we will do whatever we can to save our semp babies. True die hard semp mamas/papas!!

Rabbit and deer...oh my!!! Yellow pee pee...oh my!!! For the love of semp, I hope you find a solution.

Me too!

Now I'm in a better mood! Thanks peeps! (that's "peeps" as in people - not someone who's keeping rabbit or bear away!)

Needed this laugh, wow you all really know how to get me laughing.

See those bunnies heard us typing the P word and they are gone!!

Whatever works is good for me!

I've had big problems with rabbits eating my semps in years past. I think I mentioned last year making chicken wire hats for my semps which successfully kept the rabbits out. Since my semp gardens are a lot more extensive this year, I bought more rolls of chicken wire and put chicken wire fences around all the semp gardens and made many many more hats for all the new pots.
So far it's worked, even though we see two or three rabbits in the yard every day. With this drought, I don't know what they are finding to eat. The semps are the only thing green in the yard.

p.s. My cats are good hunters, but they don't go after the large adult rabbits. Too big and too fast.

Hope everything stays quiet (and uneaten) on the Sempervivum front...

Do you still have snow cover Tabby?

Guess I'll have to make some chicken wire covers for my beds when the snow starts melting. Thanks for the info Tabby!

I wish you all could see her gardens in person.
