I look at this photo from 2021 and I hope that my gardens get back to the glory they were that year. Totally revamping the garden beds is making this a somewhat difficult year, but then again so much opportunnity for play and creativity lies before me too.
I have always loved dianthus; however so do the bunnies in my area! So after trying a few times, I gave up. I planted 4 plants of a flower that has really pretty blue blooms in the spring and only one has survived over the past 3 years due to bunny consumption. The one this year that is blooming is surrounded by weeds so I'm not pulling those weeds because apparently the weeds keep the rabbits away! lol.
That is SO odd! I have problems with the bunnies eating my purple poppy mallow and desimatting it, but not the dianthus. I googled it and you are right that they eat Dianthus. I guess they find enough other they like better in my garden rabbit smorgasboard that they never make it to the dianthus! Interesting!
Too funny about the weeds! Too bad you have to have those to enjoy your flower. I bet they do not like the weed's taste or it is poisoneous. I wonder what else you could plant nearby that they do not eat, like Daffodils.
I love the clematis!
