Rabbits or insects don't like Marigolds!

Not to freak you out but I have seen rabbits jump up and snag moths out of the air. They seem to relish this treat so I guess their tastes have expanded past alfalfa. I keep a special area of unmowed grass/clover/carrots (they love to eat the tops so I could never harvest the carrot part) away from the garden and I have had fewer flowers munched. The rabbits got to be such regulars in this area that a couple were munched my a coyote. I buried the remains in the garden--compost for next years' plants I guess. Yarrow seems to be the fave of the local bunnies.

We plant marigolds along the edge of our garden to keep the rabbits at bay. Learned this from my grandpa.

I agree with marigolds. I also have sunflowers, dahlias, wild flowers that have been safe from rabbits. They have killed my tomatoes and broccoli this year.
