Please do not put mothballs around your flowers. Mothballs are poison to children and many pets and there is an easier way to keep rabbits from your flowers. A commercial company makes a product called \"Hinder\" that keeps pests away or you can use red pepper or chili pepper flakes on the flowers to make them too spicy for the bunnies. Some gardeners also use blood meal or baby powder to create a fragrance that keeps the rabbits out. All are more safe than mothballs and work just as well. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
