Bunnies don't eat marigolds. Thank goodness! These are Strawberry Blond marigolds from Burpee. However, bunnies will eat zinnia seedlings...every single zinnia seedling. The photo below is where there are supposed to be lovely, blooming zinnias. There may be one straggler in the upper left corner, but I'm guessing that'll get munched eventually. Even with cayenne pepper and an over-the-counter repellent, the rabbits have been ruthless, probably because there are so many of them and it's been so dry until recently.
I rescued some lettuce by raising it up with a makeshift cage around it.
The next three photos are basil, which bunnies seem to avoid. I'll have tomatoes and basil for eating, which makes me happy. Next year...fencing!
