As plantas aguentaram com poucas baixas as geadas e depois o verão tórrido. Mas a maior ameaça que enfrentam é o ataque que os coelhos lhes fazem.
O pomar é um autêntico parque de merendas para eles, e nem precisam de trazer comida, porque o parque tem em abundância.
Aqui ficam algumas imagens do tratamento que dão a algumas das plantas. Claro que não comem os figos... estão verdes. Bandidos!
Estamos a testar algumas maneiras de resolver este ataque, quando tivermos conclusões partilhá-las-emos
ResponderEliminarHerbs and Vegetables
ResponderEliminarThere are various plants that rabbits do not like either because of the taste or the smell. Plants that can be both beneficial to the garden, and a deterrent to the rabbits, include varieties of herbs and vegetables. Vegetables such as cucumbers, peppers, potatoes, corn and squash are good choices. Herbs such as catnip, aloe and agave are good examples of plants for a rabbit free-garden. Various flowers also work as deterrents for rabbits because of the smell; examples include impatiens, marigolds, zinnia, lupin, hosta and iris. Plant the herbs and vegetables around the outside perimeter of the garden as well as dispersed within the garden near other vegetables. Bamboo reeds planted in close proximity to each other around the exterior of the garden act as a natural fence.
