I want to hug and kill a bunny at the same time

He's up at the top, between the tomato cages. He's very little. DH just took this picture.

DH & I have gone through a lot of work to keep our garden bunny-free. We put up a chicken wire fence around the garden, we even put rose stems around the base and some bunny repelling plants and this little guy still got in.

Awww, he's so cute but I want to smack him if he eats my veggies!!

[hisno1girl]

Good idea! Maybe I'll plant cabbage. That will grow big and I don't eat it anyway.

marigolds and catnip are deer resistant, maybe there are some rabbit-resistant plants?

That little bugger! You could try planting some "sacrificial" lettuce on the outside perimeter of the garden. Let him have at that salad bar and maybe he'll stay out of the fenced-in area?

I don't think this will work. He'll just run off and tell all his bunny friends about the great salad bar and then they'll come crash the party.

Put a sign saying "When we run out of veggies, we eat bunnies". If the bunny can read, it should work.

We did plant the Bunny-B-Gone plants and that little fucker still got in.

I felt kinda bad for him though, DH said the little fella was darting all over the place. Poor bunny was scared

We have two woodchucks with five babies. Five. They lost most of their charm when I saw a baby woodchuck had somehow squeezed through the garden fencing and was eating my lettuce.

They look really cute gathered around my daughter's playhouse though.

We have baby woodchucks too! DS named them and always wants to run out there and "play" with them.

He thinks the dog chases them because he wants to play with them too

Omg, he's so cute. My stepdad builds large conical chickenwire structures around each plant to keep Bunny Foo Foo out.

I used that god awful Liquid Fence stuff the other week. So far, so good, no more little bunnies have munched my plants.
