I had to put chicken wire around it because the rabbits were mowing it down. I finally got some plantskyd but my husband doesn't want me to use it because he is afraid it will attract flies.


I love that flowerbed, from the pic in the middle what are the orange flowers on the right side. I can barely see the chicken wire which is good that you choose something that would not obstruct the view. I like to use the Milorganite to keep the critters out of the bed, squirrels, rabbits and cats will not dig there or munch because they hate the smell also the animals that are territorial will stay away because it has a human scent. The plants love it.
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat.6:28-29
