Question:
Could you give me the names of some plants that the local rabbit population won't eat as whatever I seem to plant becomes their latest delicacy?
Answer:
Thank you for your message regarding rabbit proof plants. No plant is really rabbit proof but they do tend to dislike very aromatic plants, plants that ooze sap, prickly plants, plants with spines, or plants with tough leathery leaves. I have found a useful website with a list of such plants http://www.complete-gardens.co.uk/online/online-gardening-plant-solutions-category.php?cat=15&sub_cat=15
