Wascally Wabbit

[Tyme2fish]

Something is eating our green bean shoots as fast as they grow. We had a very nice three rows of beans coming up and now we are down to about a half a row. I suspect the cause is the baby bunnies hopping all over our place. Nothing else that I can think of can eat the leaves that quickly overnight.

Big Dog Beagle does his best in tracking them but doesn't know what to do with them after they've gone to ground.

After my recent haircut,Mrs.Tyme took my snow white hair clippings and spread them around the garden area. I believe the baby bunnies think that's Momma rabbits white belly hair and are now instructed by their Momma to have free range in the garden. I caged the tomatoes to prevent them from free ranging but I'm not willing nor able to cage up all the bunnies.

Could my white hair attract the white hares? Does my hair attract the does?

Over the years I've had a few wild hairs come out of my a.. er wild hares come to my garden but I'm determined to get these wascally wabbits.

My girlfriends cat...pilot, is a 18 pound chunk. Pretty cool looking being white with dark areas on his back that look like wings! He kills rabbits he can catch which is fine by me. He brought one up on the porch the other night and left it. I saw the baby rabbit the other day and commented how he better leave but I guess he didn't get the message!

We've replanted the 3 rows of beans. My neighbor brought over a "live" trap and we set it at the edge of the garden and baited it with pieces of apple.

If this doesn't work, I'm getting out my shotgun.
