Now that the temperature is close to 100, a lot of things are beginning to show stress. The cone flowers I transplanted are/were doing fine. I have mulched around them and that helps a lot. Unfortunately, the bunnies love the new growth. Several plants have been nibbled nearly to the ground.
I checked the Web to see what might repel the little beasties. There were a lot of suggestions including get a dog or several dogs and cats. I really don't want to kill them, just want them to leave my flowers alone!!!
I am trying out one suggestion. This is the instructions someone wrote: 1 Tbsp of Tabasco sauce in a quart of water.
I misted the young plants today, so will see what happens. I worry, however, that the pepper spray might be a problem for the leaves as the sun is very very hot today.
