Grrrrr-Rabbits have devoured every last basil plant in my raised beds and nibbled down half of my sage!

I think we have a live trap somewhere around here but is there any
natural way to deter "Wascally Wabbits" in the garden?

I read somewhere the cayenne pepper sprinkled around your plants will keep the away and not harm your plants. The dollat store sells big jars of it. I got some but have not tried it yet. Rabbits here love my peas.

I use the cayenne pepper flakes for coons so I would guess it would work for rabbits also!

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
