I’ve read that rabbits and woodchucks dislike the strong scent, bitter taste and tough texture of yarrow, and will avoid it in my yard. Fingers crossed!
I’ve heard yarrow is a great rabbit deterrent…and if not, you’re garden will still be beautiful. 🙂 Thank you for dropping the Tails Around the Ranch blog and for the follow. We 💙 visitors.
Thanks for visiting. Rabbits are extremely common here in the last few years. Most mornings and early evenings that can be seen quietly munching on anything fresh and green in the yard.
The Snowshoe Hare is the only type of hare in Massachusetts, and is found in the higher elevations (but not in my area).
I love yarrow and hope that your woodchucks and rabbits know they aren’t supposed to like your beautiful assortment. Sadly, our grasshoppers don’t mind the bitter taste at all.
So far the chucks and rabbits are avoiding the yarrow, but unfortunately, they are both attracted to the nearby zinnias! You must have a lot of grasshoppers out there!
Somehow we have to coexist, even if we don’t always like what’s happening. Last year, the grasshoppers multiplied and ate basically everything green. We also have a mole or vole that makes mounds in one part of the garden and eats the roots of plants, so they die. And a little herd of deer makes regular forays into our flower bed and snaps off flowers and buds. Just discovered that they ate most of the lilly buds that were getting ready to open. Sigh . . .

Sighing along with you, Tanja…Don’t even get me started on the chaos the voles have caused in my yard!

We tell ourselves that they help aerate the soil. 🙂

Pretty plantings Julie. No yarrow in my yard, but plenty of spirea. Have a wonderful Monday. Allan
A good idea. I hope it works
So far, so good!
Intertwining but the yarrow made for some lovely images. 👍🏽
Pretty, pretty!
And very easy care!
It’s quite an eye-catching plant.
And so far the rabbits and woodchuck have left it alone. 😉
Well even if it doesn’t deter the munching critters, it is very eye-catching!
Thank you. Glad you like it.
Ooh, pretty collection! Herbs are the way to go if you have deer.
So far the woodchuck in the yard isn’t interested.
Love how it comes in different colours. I’ve been thinking of growing some in my yard.
So far, it’s been carefree!

Thanks for visiting and commenting. Your blog really puts a smile on my face!
Aww, thanks, Julie. You made my day!
Beautiful! We don’t tend to get rabbits in our garden, but I have spotted a hare in the past.

I got a spirea a couple of years ago, and I am so glad I did. It is so easy care, hardy and colorful! Happy Wednesday.
