just realized that the reason why my lilies don't seem to be blooming is because rabbits ate the stalks

you can also try peppermint oil sprayed around the perimeter but thats kinda hit or miss.
Many mistakes
oo, also maybe not good for Yosuke if he's going out and sniffing around in your yardspace?
shibe☀️summer
yeah I feel like it might be too late this year to save anything. they've done their damage. but hopefully the crocuses and camas lilies will come back
Many mistakes
(the cayenne, I mean, not the not-lilies)
shibe☀️summer
eh, Yousuke doesn't go out in the yard too much and honestly if I can keep him out of the garden space it's a win
fruity pepper
Many mistakes
: might make him sneeze at best
shibe☀️summer
but yeah I've tried cayenne and peppermint oil
fruity pepper
oh no
shibe☀️summer
