Rabbits in My Garden (What They Will and Won’t Eat!)

Last updated on: February 14, 2020 By Kaylene Filed Under: Garden Pests, Gardening, My Garden 17 Comments

We live in a semi-rural area where the houses are on big blocks and there’s plenty of native bushland. The upside to that is we enjoy seeing plenty of native birds and animals. The downside is that we also have to deal with pests such as rabbits. They don’t live on our property, they have they’re burrows in a bush block behind ours, but they like to venture into our garden to eat and dig!

Last updated on: August 6, 2015 By Kaylene Filed Under: Flowering Plants, Garden Pests, Gardening, Roses Leave a Comment

When beautiful spring roses begin to bloom, aphids will usually try to spoil the show. But I have just learnt that getting rid of them is easier than you might think! Since the beginning of spring our rose bushes have really taken off and they are now literally covered in flowers and flower buds. Recently when I was having a closer look at one of the buds I noticed that it was covered in aphids. They were gathering on the new buds and sucking the moisture out of them.
