Well, your flowers are beautiful
And so is your eye for composition and portraits.
Since you're a fellow gardener, do you have any tips to get rid of rabbits? They've gnawed through my perennial bed. I just planted a several big lavender plants and they're almost chewed to the ground. Now they've started chewing up my annuals- even the marigolds, which I didnt think any animal would eat. A friend of mine recommended fox urine, so I got myself some of that (was a bitch collecting it!) but that's not working either. They only thing they're not eating is the mint- and that is so invasive I wouldnt care if they did. I'm not a violent woman, but Thumper and his little friends are very close to getting clubbed.
Also, I planted 50 strawberry plants and the squirrels and skunks dug up every last one of them.

Invite Andrew over
Not only will your flowers be safe, you'll get a delicious meal out of it.

I really did LOL when I read that!
Firstly, I dont think I could stomach what he cooks.
Secondly, he wont come out. He's a big old candyass (to borrow Amy's word) who wont sit in an airplane for that long.

The curator of spiders at the museum doesn't get out much -
. . and gets a bit lonly, but she has her plants.
Just yesterday she got permission to put them out in the sun on the roof. It didn't work out well, but she knew what to do.

I'm no gardner
the garden came with the house. about the only gardening I've done is kill dandylions and cut grass. the flowers are basically growing wild at the moment (except the orchid, it's in a pot).
for the rabbit problem, have you considered an [link|http://www.barnowlvideo.com/|owl]?

Well, I do have a plastic owl
perched on the fence, but the critters simply ignore it. I never considered attracting a real owl into the yard- thanks for that link.
We had a dog last year, and she did a good job keeping the animals out. We had to get rid of her though. She was psychotic. Maybe an owl is the answer.
