Growing Tomatoes

Bunnies vs. Tomato Garden

11 years ago

Well, I am one of the few people around here that doesn't shoot the bunnies. I think that is why the bunnies come here (no dog either). However, I have one bunny that is really getting on my nerves. He jumps up in my raised bed and digs a tunnel (usually about 12" long x 4" diameter). Today he got right to the edge of my Stump of the World roots. I am looking for any suggestions...or recipes. hehe PS So, my wife looks out the backyard this morning and we have a peacock wandering around. What the heck is going on around here???

I would love to see a peacock walking through our yard!!! We have a national park here. My friend's property backs up to it. She has a real problem with deer. She swears by a spray that repels deer that she uses in her garden. There is one made for rabbits also that I have seen at the local garden center. Don't know if it works. But you could try spraying the whole bed to see.

Trap him and take him to the wilderness.

LOL! Sorry! We had a dozen peacocks about 2 blocks from us when we lived in Vero Beach. Maybe someone is feeding it?

Peacocks are loud. Their call sounds like a baby crying. They sit in trees. It looks so funny to see such a big bird in a tree.

Bless you for not killing that bunny. Messing with a Stump of the World is SERIOUS.

Sounds like it's time for some rabbit stew.

I was on my way home from the grocer last week and had to stop for two Peacocks facing off in the middle of the road. I beeped at them and it didn't phase them. Only when they danced a while, flew up facing one another and flapped over to the side of the road could I continue on.
