Dratted Rabbits

The bunnies in the garden have got to go! As we made our way to the vegetable patch yesterday morning the first thing we saw was a rabbit, this being despite our best efforts to fence the area off. It quickly became apparent that there had been a rabbit party going on, all the onions, leeks and cabbages had been nibbled to within an inch of their lives, particularly annoying for me because I planted the majority of them! With no hope of catching the offending creatures as Shandy was absent that day, we spent much of our time attempting to cobble together some rabbit deterrents to save what remained of our crops. Then we had to construct a piece of netting by sowing two large pieces together to drape over the currants to stop the marauding birds eating all of those. Sometimes gardeners fight a constant battle with Mother Nature in order to get our portion, we don't mind sharing but leaving nothing for us is just too much!
