I was wondering where my bunnies had gone this year. But our fertilizer restrictions went into effect in June and I then began feeding my plants with alfalfa pellets. All of a sudden the bunnies are back . . . they can smell alfalfa from blocks away!
Thankfully they like my Spanish needles (native pollinator plant) better than the daylilies so I leave a lot of them in the garden over the summer.
I have these guys (cottontails) who are not at all shy, and also marsh rabbits which are smaller, darker brown and very cute but a bit more timid.
