Clarabelle Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Pam, that basket protecting your plant is great. I desperately need to protect my plants, especially my blueberries. Where did the basket come from? Perhaps I need to take up weaving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluckbok Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi ya Pam, I notice you've got a Fatsia Plant in that area where the girls are not supposed to go We've just planted one of those, so I take it yours don't eat that one? We've done our best to try to pick tough plants that they won't eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 My girls don't touch the fatsia I've found anything with waxy leaves is OK, they also don't eat phormiums, carex, ice plants, cannas, lavendars, rosemary. Plants with rough and tough leaves seem to survive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckbok Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Ah cool thanks , I will make a note of those other plants. That will stop the little monkeys They took a peck of the parsley and turned their little beaks up! So far they been pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
