Jerry, we harvested all the winter-sown carrots, so RR didn't have a chance to get any! Hank, it was once said that great minds run on the same...
Blissful, rabbits will eat the bark off trees, but only when their preferred food, grass and forbs, is not available during severe droughts or...

We have a resident rabbit--no damage to the vegetable or flower gardens, very calm and not all that shy. Here is RR, our Eastern cottontail,...
We use hort. vinegar when we can get it, regular vinegar when we can't. I use it in a trigger bottle with the spray set on "jet" to kill weeds in...
