This year's garden sharply diminished due to rabbits.

Even with fences, they prevailed. Peas, broccoli, eggplants...gone.

The corn, cukes, and tomatoes haven't yet fallen to the enemy, and we're hopeful.

We tried Rabbit Scram but our dog thought it was her special treat so that didn't work. We've googled all the tricks and remedies. The only thing that works is better fencing.

I look at pictures from five years ago when our garden needed no fences at all. We live in a city! I think that rat poison has decimated the predator birds (they eat the sick rats) and there is nothing to curtail the rabbit population.

If at least the tomatoes survive, I'll be happy.

1. Here in the city in NE FL, the bugs ate about 1/2 of the tomatos.

They started out great, no problems at all and tomato plants were producing beautiful Heirloom tomatos. Then the bugs came, starting in June. They got about 1/2 the tomatos, at first and then it bexame a real struggle. We sprayed the plants with a mixture of bleach and dish detergent, it slowed the bugs some, but in a few days they'd be right back.

The peppers have not been touched and we have a bumper crop of 6 kinds of peppers. Unfortunately, I'm not a hot pepper fan, that's my husband. He makes hot sauce and rub from them that everyone loves. I even like the rub, it's so tasty and he's very careful to remove all the seeds so I can tolerate it. Hot sauce - no. One of the peppers isn't hot and he makes great poppers with those that I love too.

2. Did you try dropping a piano down on them?

I'll see myself out.

4. Liquid Fence works for me.

Stoopid wabbit destroyed my strawberry bed -gasp- and every hosta. Last 2 years I applied Liquid Fence. No problems this year, heirloom tomatoes doing fine. Might actually take down unsightly chicken wire barriers (which never deterred rabbits) since Liquid Fence is working perfectly.
