Description
It is summer once again. We have a garden and in this garden are two jelly-bean tomato plants. They are just starting to ripen. How do I know this? Thumper, Hazel and Spot (our resident WILD rabbits) have started their taste testing experiments. They bite into one tomato - not what rabbits like. They bite into another one. Still doesn't taste good. This experiment is repeated on any little tomato that is almost ripe. Being not too high on the "little gray cell" chart, it doesn't dawn on them that the 50th bite is going to be just as unappetizing as the first one and, on the evolutionary changes scale, it probably won't for another 100,000 years. I don't have that long to wait. Especially since they are branching out to nibble on the melon vines. Therefore Ray and I installed a fence around the garden. There were several greenhouse platforms with a broken 2 x 4 on them stored in #4, so we secured them with wire to the upright posts in the raised bed where we have the plant barrels. A few judiciously placed cable staples and a bungie cord and voila! - we have a fence! I just hope the rabbits appreciate all our hard work.
I tried to make a decent thumbnail for this but I gave up when the size had reached 100 x70 and it still wasn't under the 15kb limit.

Interesting details! and nice you made a fence around them cute tomatoes :-)
Ohh.. gosh.. I know how you feel.. down here in Australia we have had to fully enclose our vegi. garden to keep the opossums and the kangaroo out. Nice job on the building of it, though like SidheRoseGraphics says... they do dig. LOL
I love the story, and rabbits are always popular, even when they are not behaving.
Hi Teri, I'm a specialist about Rabbit, don't you know ? Of course, specially when their legs becoem moldy :-D And we saw it. Thank you for your kindly words and your huge amount of work where I can follow how your life is going on ;-) Have a good week-end my friend and see you soon. Cheers. P.S. What kind of software do you use to make thumbnail ? (If I can help)
