Awww Pixie is so much smaller than her babies now. How is spaying/neutering them all going?!
I was up at my father's on Thurs and managed to get some wood avens, hawthorn, and loads of yarrow from his gardens. A few other bits too. It's only a small garden but he was clearing an area to make a 'fairy garden' for his grandkids.
OMG cant believe all the photos of forage are gone
that's so sad. We shall have to start adding some back. We could maybe do a photo a-z with bunny models in some
Just popped on to ask about red currants - are they ok? Loads of geranium today & Joey is liking bindweed

Yes, Red Currants are OK, also the leaves and twigs. Favourite here at the moment is the Common Vetch that I grew in pots. It's not very substantial, but the rabbits just take huge mouthfuls Willowherb is in flower here now too, which goes down well.
My garden seems to have sprouted it's own herb robert plantation. Bunnies like that by the huge mouthful too :lol:
well i guess Ash is out of season, its definitely suddenly unpopular. Clever bunnies - i expect there is a really good reason they won't eat it now .
Found loads of Knapweed - difficult to access though as very steep & uneven hill with overgrown grass
Mine were OK with it last time I tried about 3-4 weeks ago. Our Ash tree is enormous, so I have to wait for a storm to persuade some twigs to fall off before the get any
But Hawthorn, they have definitely become very iffy about. Leaves just get nibbled round the edges and the stem is left. Hazel and Willow are the favourites here atm.
My neighbour has a handy Rowan tree which overhangs and the buns are *very* keen on that. The other neighbour had his pear tree pruned recently .... yum yum
neighbours with benefits :lol: mine has told me to "help myself" to her overflowing baskets of herbs but of course I wouldn't. I might actually bury some berries, I'd like a Rowan. Lots here but mostly in gardens & not wild
Omi - interesting about Hawthorn, mine are still devouring it with gusto. They still love, love, love hogweed too. Ash only got rejected in the past week or so. you'll have to report back once you've had a storm ?
I have a couple of rogue Rowan trees in my garden that will be dug up when my sheds are taken down.
Would you like me to post you one with it's roots on?
that's very kind but honestly I'll just try berries & see if they take, failing that I'll "acquire " a little tree somehow. If you were to postpone your shed uprooting til next year that would be most convenient & my answer might be different:lol:. Thank you so much though
