Sorry, Grace. We had a baby rabbit in our garden yesterday evening. It was under the pole beans, eating and munching!

Here in the city we have rabbits. These little terrorists eat our plants. They haven't destroyed anything in my garden yet but they have been taking bites out of my lettuces, beans and onion greens. I cannot leave my dog out all day to chase them away. ARGH!

Oh no! I feel your pain! I have replaced my squash, zucchini, and cucumbers 3 times. My dogs keep eating them, the whole plant! I now have fences around them to save them! Hopefully your wildlife will leave your yummy food alone.

How frustrating to see all of your plans end up as a midnight snack! Maybe put up some high deer fencing around the produce plant areas?

I have to just grin and remind myself... I can spend $100's of dollars putting up fencing or I can go to our local farmers market or organic market and buy my tomatoes... lol!
We have a horrendous gopher/ground squirrel population... so when I plant trees/bushes etc... I have to wrap the root ball in small guage chicken wire... i learned the hard way my 1st year up here...the lil buggers would chew the roots right up to the base of the plant...
Anybody got a easy recipe for gopher stew!!! Lol!

So 'tween the deer, gophers oh and I almost forgot... the Havileana( sp)... known as small wild pigs...they root and dig up everything... gardening up in the mountains is very different then what I was accustom to back on the wesr plains of Spokane.
But I really can't complain to much.. I still love digging in the...lol!

Gracie...well, all I can say is...those little buggers all know a Free Meal Sign when
they see one. They probably think you've got the best buffet around! LOL
