Rabbits! They're here! We only have a few plants above ground and they are already taking some of them out. Leo had mentioned seeing 2 go underneath the Weather Deck (that's the same deck we stand on during the outdoor weather segments). Apparently, they are living underneath the deck and have had baby bunnies. After mentioning this problem on the air at five, we've had several suggestions from our loyal viewers. Most rely on smell to keep them away. Here's just a few.
+Take used cat litter from your home and sprinkle it around the perimeter of the garden. The critters don't like the smell.
+Plant marigolds all around the garden to deter bunnies. They too give off a smell that is unpleasant to rabbits.
+One viewer suggested mothballs. Obviously, the smell is supposed to keep the rabbits and other unwanted critters away.
+And how about plants with vines? A viewer from Lynchburg suggests putting in plants with vines -- squash, cucumbers, etc. -- around the edge of your garden.
Don't know if any of these will work. But we'd be willing to try all of them. We'll let you know how it goes. Well, gotta "hop" to it.
