My only complaint about turning my lawn into a wildflower and curated garden is a rabbit like to chomp our asters before they can bloom.
He only ate one and cut down the others and left their buds to decay in the soil.
We do have other asters in the back that are now so strong he can’t do that.
Also one more good thing about the biodiversity thing: everything in my garden is massive this year, and it’s been growing so quickly. The soil is definitely thriving.
Rabbits love clover and all legumes actually. So if you got dutch white clover in your lawn they will go for that first. They will be enough to discourage most eating of garden plants. They avoid everything except my sunflower which they have been eating while they are low. Or at least something is.
I have white clover but they still go for the asters. There’s no clover in the front though.
I also have a groundhog who I think also eats the plants, maybe he’s involved.
I think it’s just the asters are new and relatively low, the established ones in the back don’t get eaten anymore.
Me planting in my garden meant to feed wildlife:
I've made peace with it.
Plants are rabbit food, if they die they die and new plants get added.
Looking at the health of the whole garden / ecosystem has made me very zen. Especially when pulling things I don't want or have too much of. I've been trying up transfer some to abandoned areas for things that aren't common. They usually die but they were going to die when I pulled them anyhow.
My husband laughed at me for pulling weeds and throwing them in the yard, but they ARE the "lawn", I don't care if they grow out there, just want to advantage the flowers and food plants in the defined spaces.
I always mow in anything I have pulled into the yard
