7/21/2020 0 Comments The Battle is lost!Well we proclaimed victory to soon. It is quite clear that the bunnies have won the Bunny Battle. Now don't get me wrong the chili powder sprinkled over the plants does work, but you have to reapply right away after every rain. Unfortunately with the library closed Friday, Saturday and Sunday there was time for the final sneak attack. Last Thursday we sprinkled the plants with chili powder and left for the day. Friday rained almost all day and as a result the chili powder was washed away. Sometime Saturday or Sunday the bunnies came and ate the last of the coneflowers. It was a clear and apparent victory for the bunny. The plant on the left has a few leaves so it may survive but for right now it's just to hot to try to replant new flowers. So we will wait till next year and try to replant the flowers we lost and I think we'll have to do a combination of fencing and chili powder. So we may have lost the battle this year, but the war will continue!
