mjriv1 is having a problem. Though this isn't neccessarily directly cooking related it is indirectly as many of us grow the food we eat.
Quoted from mjriv1's journal http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3460681/
I am having a problem with some plants in my garden. Rabbits.
Peas, beans, onions, garlic and even a recently sprouted peach tree, about 3" high, are all being eaten to the ground.
What I note is that they do not touch the tomatoes, potatoes, basil, mint, watercress, chives, strawberries or parsley.
Now, I an thinking of planting something they don't like around the patches they do eat. I hope this will keep them out. The problem with most of the above is they are 'weeds'. I planted extra curled parsley 2 years ago and the flat Italian type last year, Basil about 3 years ago. Now I have it sprouting all over the yard any place that gets a bit of water.
So does anyone know of something I can plant as a boarder that will do the job but not try to take over?
Oh, Iris plants seem good too. I had some squash sprout in my compost heap and it did not last the day, but the ones I have in the front yard in the clear plastic containers are up near some Iris plants and so far have not been touched.
So if anyone out there has a suggestion on how to alleviate this problem so that mjriv1 can grow those delightful foods please put a comment here.

We normally get strong winds here. Sustained of about 35mph and gusts to 55. That's why we gave up on trying to have any wind chimes. A few months ago we had some gusts that hit 80.
Another idea is to put a statue of an owl in your garden. Sometimes it works! I have even seen the kind that have motion detectors that have the owl hoot when critters come in your garden.
