dandy_line, the poor blue cohosh!

15 years ago

The two lovely plants you gave me got chomped by rabbits. "Dose wascelly wabbits!" as Elmer Fudd would say. (I say something a bit stronger, myself! :-D)

Have you had this problem? I've been watering them to see if the roots re-sprout, but no luck so far. I'll have to put a fence around them the next time I try.

The other plants you gave me are doing well.

Wow, I have lots of Blue Cohosh growing wild here and the rabbits have never touched it!

Hope you catch those varmints! LOL

Well, I don't seem to be bothered by pests here. The deer won't touch it and I know I have rabbits too. If you have rabbits then you must have other things bitten off. I don't know what to tell you now. Very sorry about that. My "queen of the prairie" did get predated by deer, but are mostly ok.
