Darn those Rabbits they are Eating my Tulips!!

I do not know about you but my battle with the rabbits in my flower beds have begun.

I planted tulips for the first time in the fall and had no idea that rabbits loved this plant..oh my what a disappointment.. I still see the buds so I am hoping that they will bloom. But my hopes for them coming back next year are significantly reduced with so much of the foliage eaten.

I try to spray rabbit repellent as often as I think about it but those rabbit get to my tulips faster than I do sometimes

For right now I am spraying rabbit deterrent every two weeks and also after a good rain. I am not ready to fence in each tulip but maybe after this year I will.

Following are some sites to visit they have information to combat this problem.
