Mostly the service I have just mow/mulches into the grass which helps prevent snow mold. Anything in the flower beds I have them leave it, its the sidewalks, deck, driveway, etc they blow into a giant tarp & take it away to a compost dump. Also helps keep the hiding places for #DamnVarmints down.

Do you need to protect them from #DamnVarmints nibbling at them?

They do this to torment me. Bunny splooted just outside my front door, just looked at me with the most wicked sideeye as if to say, 'yeah bitch, im here to eat all your #garden#DamnVarmints

I got the notice on the veg entries, such a miserable garden this year, not entering at all. #DamnVarmints.

Love the colour of these ranunculus. I planted a bunch but only a few bloomed, likely rabbits got them #DamnVarmints

Finally got around to digging out the seed packets again, I think most likely is Rouge Royal due to the center colour, but could be any of them, I think I planted all 3 but #damnvarmints likely got some.

3 different seed packets displaying different varieties of red sunflowers with illustrations of the sunflowers on the front of the packets : Northern Circle Seeds, Autumn Beauty; Botanical Interests, Rouge Royale; Southern Exposure Seed Savers Exchange, Velvet Queen.
