Hi guys,

Following on from my thread in general, bunnies eating everything in sight in the garden, like a storm of locusts! We now have no plants left :shock:

Just wanted to have a look at your garderns to see if I can pinch any ideas on how to re-plant the garden this year without them ALL being destroyed!

This is what the garden looked like last year: note all the plants in the flower bed

And this one is Jess - as you can see, those pots just aren't high enough to stop her sitting and eating them, and can you see behind her - that whole border was planted with lovely flowering plants - but they have both munched them all - I don't think they will grow back this year, as any plantling that comes up they eat!

Oh yes and she chewed through the light cable, so they don't work now either.

Here is our garden now - am currently working on the grass to get it back to a lush state, but can you see how baron it is now looking, there is now only 1 plant in the flower bed!

So come on people - get posting!

Here's mine....low maintenance! The buns do chew all of my grasses, and the poor pinks are not having a chance to come back after winter as they are being eaten faster than they are growing!

It's best to have big hearty grasses etc that are substantial enough to live through a lot of chewing! :lol:

The gravel is fine....the buns actually love it!! They go full pelt down the garden and then skid at the end, so that all the shingle goes up onto the patio! It's great fun to watch :lol:

I have lost many a bedding plant to the cheeky whatsits though! I think when I make my new border near their hutch later in the year, it will be full of plants like roses, grasses and palms...all hardy stuff! Pansies etc don't stand a chance!

ok we start with the before before pic (this was how our garden was like for ageeees

then we payed for a drainage system (thick clay soil + rain = big mess) and re turfing and this is what it looked like then.... ahhhh lovely!

however as soon as the turf went down the weather changed to scorching and no matter how hard we tried our poor little grass was not meant to be so we left it until a few weeks ago and then we done this

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

we bought turf ourselves and returfed it and now it looks like this (it is still a work in progress we still have decking to go down and the flower beds to do, but it is getting there!)

I'd like to see pics of even 'bad gardens' as it'll make me feel better that other people's gardens are as bad as mine :lol:

We've just had fencing put up today and I need to paint the picket style - any suggestions on colours?
