Garden for BunBun

[BunBun71]

Hello,
I was wondering what I can grow in my garden for my rabbit? Is there anything they can not eat from my garden?
I am going to plant tonight.
Thank you!

Basil, oregano, mint, dill, sage, lettuces, parsley, thyme, cilantro, carrots (for their green tops). Just be careful with mint. It will take over everything. I keep mint contained in pots.

Thank you so much for your help. I will plant lots of the things that you said.

Can I just echo @Blue eyes's warning! It really does take over e v e r y t h i n g. Speaking from experience.... sadly....

My fence wasn't tight enough, the kits got through - so I can tell you they love carrot tops (all gone), chives (also, they just left bare earth), and young cabbage. My gardening attempts are a desaster so far. They did nibble the beans, but there's something left of those. Pumpkin plants went untouched, but I feed pumpkin in winter.

If you have enough space, jerusalem artichokes are really great rabbit plants, I feed excess greens, they give shade in summer (up to 4m tall), and I harvest the tubers for me and the rabbits in Winter. They need to be protected from the buns until they are about 2ft, then it's a great place to spend the day.

Sorry, that the buns got into the garden. Those jerusalem artichokes sound neat.

Thank you for the warning about the mint. I have some mint growing in my garden right now that I better put in pots!
Thank you again.

That's perfectly alright! Good luck with your garden!

Thank you! @Karaliene I planted some vegetable about half an hour ago.

 

[Karaliene]

Oh, you did? That's so cool! Which ones did you go with in the end, if it's okay to ask?

 

[BunBun71]

@Karaliene I did not plant anything for BunBun yet, we planted for us. We did not have time to plant something for him. Today we will, though.

 

[Karaliene]

Oh okay, @BunBun71, I get you. That's still cool to know I'm not the only gardener around here, though!

 

[BunBun71]

@Karaliene I planted radishes for me and bunbun.

 

[Karaliene]

Aw, that's sweet! I bet Bunbun will enjoy those greens when they're ready!

 

[BunBun71]

I think he will too.
