Went out for a first look around the garden since the snow and ice melted after the Big Thaw which followed the Big Freeze three or four weeks earlier.
LONG WINTER FOR THE UK!
I was heartbroken to find that not only had the sheep neighbours munched on my recently planted scots pine, holly, rhododendron (which I thought was poisonous), but the bunny had cleaned off everything else that was green! Parsley, roses, shoots, digging up bulbs etc.
I totally understand that in the shock of the all white world with no food what else to do than eat then Pamelas greenery situation, the bunny and sheep were in survival mode.
All I can do is to start over, planting more and protecting them better.
It is a huge learning curve this gardening in fell country. Wish me luck and perseverance with a lot of patience too.
