We had an almost ripe strawberry.....then a bunny got it. Now I'm totally freaking out because I really REALLY don't want to put up a fence around my cute little raised bed. Any suggestions people? Do I plant carrots around the border or what?  Bear (our black lab) usually protects the perimeter, but apparently the bunny knows his schedule and is sneaking in early in the morning. |

ah-HA! thanks Carol.
At least I know I did a few things right. I have the raised bed, mulch, and it's on a slope. What do I have here, the energizer bunny? just my luck!
I knew I had read somewhere to plant foods that they like (as a decoy) But I like the idea of planting what they DON'T like much better. Maybe I'll do marigolds?
Has anyone planted a deterent that worked better than others? |

HAHAHAHAH NO WAY! Boy.. my brain works in mysterious ways. HAHAHH I seem to have a cat issue where there's a cat stalking my cats at night through the window (literally 4 inches away from our bedroom window).. one night I looked out the window and was looking for the coyote.. didn't realize the black cat was 3 inches from my face on the left.. peaking in like a pervert! HAHHH Darn beasts! |
