I am having more rabbit nibbles than I have ever had before this year. Similar to you in that 2 have had all of the leaves chewed off, and 3-4 others with easy to spot damage. I am planning on them all recovering - but it may be wishful thinking. Of course - they are mostly my HH Waterlilies, which I am really looking forward to!

Luckily my neighbor is a dandy shot with his pellet gun, and has picked off two this past week - I have a live trap set too, but so far nada. I'd rather haul them away, but when they are doing as much damage as they are - I gave my neighbor the go ahead to take out any he spots.

I would be happy to share some of our rain with you. Yesterday was the first day in a while that was full sun, and many of the dahlias were a bit shocked, with leaves drooping. I haven't even had to water containers, let alone plants in the ground. I am getting tired of sitting on wet ground to get things planted and weeded in between the rains. (but it is looking really lush around here).
