Learning to live with wild animals.. yep. These hares mostly seem to like the grass and weeds, but there are a few things that need protection (hollyhocks) and I've kind of pushed the envelope now by planting out more greens. (and peas!) If they do get into it I will just cut my losses.. no time for a rabbit war. I have a lot of oregano gone to weed status, so when I see the bunnies out I like to think of them as "self seasoning" and how tasty they would be. Reality you can't even put snares out here since the neighbour cats also come and go. So the rabbits may be seasoned for some fox out there.
Coastal, that is a gentian (Gentiana lutea). They really like it here in NL, so there are lots. Blooming in mid July, before many of the other herbs. They produce pounds of seed in my garden every year, if you ever want some.
