I give up! Rabbits have eaten my garden green beans to the ground, twice!!!

Now I don't mind sharing, but this is ridiculous. We have planted them twice and they got about a foot high and then boom down to the ground. Every last one! The rabbits pulled up the onions and ate the onion bulb part. They have eaten my okra. They ate my squash. They ate my cucumbers and the bell peppers. They LOVED the lettuce! Now for some reason they have not touched my tomatoes, corn, or pumpkins. And they are thriving quite well. This year is the garden that wasn't. And we do know it is rabbits and not deer or raccoons. We can walk out to the garden and run off as many as 15 to 20 rabbits. We are seriously considering putting a chicken wire fence around the garden. Oh well at least we have happy rabbits here! I think I will just put out a sign welcoming them!!

I've had this problem in the past. It's not fun. Especially after the plants have gotten started.

After it happened to us last time, we put moth balls around the plants to ward off animals. It worked.

At least you have healthy rabbits in your area.

It wasn't our Herbie, honest!
