I have plenty of blackberries and red and wild black raspberries. Do the rabbits eat rhubarb ? Anyway, that would be easy to fence in.

I have always fenced the green beans with no problem until last year when the voles tunneled in and ate every bean plant. This year I planted them in buckets. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will definitely be making that next. 👍 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darb1964 1,113 #20 Posted May 10 We enjoy our rhubarb pie and also make rhubarb sauce and apple/rhubarb sauce. My aunt said two table spoons of apple / rhubarb sauce a day, keeps a body regular. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
