I'd love to have a few cuttings of the Pussy willow. Check my list to see if there's anything that you might want. I am planning on updating my list today as I have a few things that aren't on it yet. Like Lupine seeds. Regards, David

Some children let a few large domestic-type rabbits go in the back yards behind our Brooklyn rowhouses -- they, or rather one that took up residence in our yard, ate most everything green that was in my garden. Rabbits don't like daffodil leaves, it's true. This bunny ate the daffodil flowers, instead. She also dug a network of substantial tunnels under the ground. Eventually my husband and I adopted the bunny and kept it for six years. Poor bunny, whom we christened Amy, eventually became rather tame and allowed us to pet her. She died this spring rather unexpectedly. Except for a propensity to chew the electric wires, she was an ideal pet. I miss her pleasant companionship here in the computer room -- and also all wonderful the free fertilizer with which she used to supply us. Attached link of rabbit chasing snake shows the surprising resourcefulness of some rabbits. Here is a link that might be useful: rabbit chasing snake

Our local rabbits eat our butterfly bushes, lavender and rosemary (occasionally), honeysuckle, some sage species, wormwood (yes, it's supposed to be poisonous, but our rabbits eat through entire bushes), and more. I don't 100% trust any article that tells you what they "tend" not to eat... I've been burned over a dozen times. You have to test it in your own garden... my local rabbits have damaged or completely eaten every plant that they "tend" not to eat. We have acres of vegetation that rabbits eat so it's not like our rabbits are starving... maddening. As the above poster wrote, although unsightly, fencing is the only method that has worked for me (liquid fence, "scarecrow", blinking lights, ultrasonic stakes, etc have all failed for me).

I recently bought a small rabbit's foot fern that was growing on a lava rock! It was a perfect size for a shelf I had in mind and saves the trouble of planting a dish garden (which I had in mind for that spot). I have it in a saucer surrounded by medium size round river rock and moss (which i soaked first in water). I spray it with a mister every other day or so and make sure there is always water in the saucer. The wet moss and pebbles seems to give it the humidity it needs and so far it doesn't have any brown leaves. But I have a question: Is Rabbit's Foot Fern an epiphyte? Does it feed from the roots, or it's foliage like bromeliads do? Right now it is very unique and cute- just hope I can keep it alive. Thanks, JC
