Cuteness overload but how will I ever grow any veg 😭. I think I’ll go for sheer quantity and hope for the best. Though maybe I’ll get stuck in a bunny doom loop - the more I grow the more bunnies there are. They are so lovely to watch though. They were playing around outside the greenhouse as I pricked out rainbow chard seedlings. Sigh.

These are smaller even than lil bun.

I was saying to @suearcher the other day, that we should grow sacrificial tasty lettuce just to tempt rabbits and similar away from the veg we want to eat.

Oh god, I hope I don’t witness a murder on camera.

They did find a nest in a polytunnel recently and released them into the woods, though the cat had one. Another cat was sniffing around this nest last night.

I'm afraid the only non-direct-lethal solution is to encourage predators, and even then, nature says there will always be more rabbits...

In other words, buy my veg from elsewhere 😭

I can't say I hope out much hope... I've never had to deal with rabbits as a garden pest.

They’re quite a good height. The rest is fair game though. I might try chicken wire but they’ll probably dig underneath.

(My parents have a related issue with deer. This photo was taken a few blocks from their thoroughly urban, though small city, house. So beautiful, but no geranium or tulip ever survives a day past blooming. At least my parents are no longer trying to grow veg.)

You'll have to make a little scarecrow from a tiny blue jacket...
