Just thought I'd cheer everyone up with a collage of hollyhocks

I've put Morning Glory seed down in hopes they don't eat those plants. Oddly enough there seems to only be one of them .... I suppose sooner or later a cat or dog will catch him.

I really don't know @jaboUK I've lived here for 18 years and this wabbit showed up a couple years ago, it's eaten most of my flowers ..... I've had no luck gettin sunflowers to get past the seedling stage but apparently they make good salads

@rebelann I thought they always run in groups.

Thank you, I keep hoping the seeds I've put out will sprout .... who knows, maybe the did and the wabbit ate em.

@rebelann , Flowers there are awesome.

How do I do that, my lot has field fence all around but the dang kritter just slips through those holes.

Well, I'll have to see bout figurin out how to build a frame for the chicken wire, my right arm isn't cooperatin right now so I still need to heal a little before it'll let me use it to nail stuff @crazyhorseladycx

@rebelann that coz 'tis field fence. i put'p chicken coop wire here with a wood frame 'n buried metal all 'long the edges'f the garden so's they can't dig'n. that bein' said, i do plant the cute lil darlin's a garden'f their own which i sometimes luck out'n they leave me somethin' to nibble'n 's well :)

I wish it were that simple but unfortunately the lil varmint gets to them before I even know they're tryin to grow. I did put a few seeds out back, hopefully those won't become dinner.

I've thought about trying to build a fenced area around where the seeds will be but the ground here is that hard TX clay and I don't have the strength it takes to get posts in @Jdaw1985

@rebelann Oh wow. Try putting some in posts and keeping them inside at night and take them out during the day. It might help.

Deer couldn't survive here for long, not much shade and almost no trees .... some of our trees are poisonous to mammals.

If you like it hot and dry with really short winters then yeah @DianneN you should ..... but one thing to think about is that it isn't that green here, we don't get enough rain for that.

@rebelann I didn't know that. I should move there!

Well, good for those wabbits. I've been laughing at Ally a lot lately cuz she tries so hard to catch them, I hope she never does, I wouldn't want her to get rabies.

It sure wood @just4him but I imagine the rabie shots she's gotten should protect her.

@rebelann That would be bad.

@rebelann Well it's gloomy enough for me. I'm originally from the tropics

Oh well in that case you probably never had much of a winter there @flapiz am I correct?

Thank you, I'm glad I could cheer you up a little. I didn't know Australia got gloomy winters ..... shows ya what I know, right?

If those two wabbits can wreak havoc here then I can't imagine how bad it must be for you, you're in deer country right?

I so glad you like them .... just think, after all that wonderful rain you're gettin there'll be flowers poppin up all over the place.

Thank you. Actually they probably would love your area, your area gets plenty of rain, right?

Too often we're restricted from watering @mom210 especially when it's the middle of an 8 year drought.

@rebelann Sometimes the summers can be very dry, but I can water.

I never would have thought of them as weeds, how odd.

I have to wonder about the word "weed" too often it's simply a way of identifying indigenous plants and to me those are the ones I'd want to grow @Inlemay

@rebelann maybe not in your country - remember a weed is classified as a foreign plant in any country - They are apparently native to Asia and Europe so wikipedia says, therefore even though they grow in our gardens, they are classified as weeds. So are the beautiful Cosmos flowers which I love

Thank you, I was so happy I got these.

Thank you. Yeah, you'd think my fiends ... er friends ... wood stick around to say hi sometimes

I wish I knew @puddleglum I've only seen Ally chasin somethin but I've only seen the wee fien ... er friend once

@rebelann Haha. I guess they move on to fresh conquests.

Thank you, glad you think it is very good.

Thank you @precious4011 but unfortunately there are 2 rabbits making meals of any plants they can find, except morning glories because those are toxic.

@rebelann your welcome. Wish you good luck for the ones you want to grow this year

I finally found one that's actually escaped the eye of the wabbit, it's in the back. I hope I get seeds from this one.

OMG, I never thought I'd see that word written. WoooWhooo Shuuss, I only whisper it around here.

Yeah, I thought of doing that but boy would that get pricey, carrots aren't cheap round here.

Thank you

Thank you, I keep hoping they'll grow here again but it's still too dry for them.
