I have lived here since 1962 and this is the first time my plants have been severely threatened by rabbits...They breed under my garden shed and I have always seen a few but this year they haven eaten both of my stands of Asiatic lilies that have been there for at least 8 years. Very small plants seem especially attractive but sometimes something bigger is attacked. I am constantly moving my covers for them to survive to adulthood!!! We have always had a few but they are everywhere. Going to call in a lot of hunters this winter and we will learn to eat rabbits like we used to........Wanting feral cats.
