This year's garden sharply diminished due to rabbits.

[Croney]

Even with fences, they prevailed. Peas, broccoli, eggplants...gone.

The corn, cukes, and tomatoes haven't yet fallen to the enemy, and we're hopeful.

We tried Rabbit Scram but our dog thought it was her special treat so that didn't work. We've googled all the tricks and remedies. The only thing that works is better fencing.

I look at pictures from five years ago when our garden needed no fences at all. We live in a city! I think that rat poison has decimated the predator birds (they eat the sick rats) and there is nothing to curtail the rabbit population.

If at least the tomatoes survive, I'll be happy.
