Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

I had planted a few sweet potato slips earlier in the week, 2 days later they are gone and a little rabbit is running around.

Bunnies can't get in my garden. That and all the neighbor's cats kill all the bunnies.

The rabbits don't seem to have bothered the pitiful asparagus patch. It is right behind the artichokes.

The bunnies/rabbits have never bothered my pitiful asparagus either

My cats are old and ancient so they don't kill the wabbits any longer.

One winter the gate to the garden got left open for about week. A couple of bunnies went in and dug a burrow in the asparagus bed.

My asparagus bed has never been fenced, the weeds grow very well. Critters don't touch it

There is nothing like asparagus picked fresh and immediately cooked (not overcooked) and served.

No cats to take out bunnies here. And they must be fairly smart rabbits since the foxes haven't taken them all out. We usually have at least a couple of adults year round and little ones show up in the spring. Rarely more than one at a time though which seems odd.

When we got a barn cat, the rabbit population noticeably reduced. She had 5 kittens and we didn't see a rabbit for a year. Now we only have 3 of the 6 cats left and I saw a rabbit IN THE DOG YARD last night.
The cats don't really go into the dog yard much - only when we are going in and out of the house alot and they are trying to get picked up for pets.
