What did you do in the garden today?

[BReeder!]

Rabbits are a problem in my area when it comes to gardening. So are squirrels, but I'd have to cage every plant to keep them away. I would like to keep the rabbits out of the garden though. I have hardware cloth and chicken wire along the on the back and sides of the garden. The front fence of the garden area is the new one though, which is a 3-rail fence with 2'x4' welded wire. Is the 2"x4" welded wire sufficient for rabbits? The gaps are vertical (2" wide and 4" tall) btw. Do I need to run hardware cloth or chicken wire over the welded wire to create smaller gaps?

For rabbits, the 2 inch gap should be good enough. Also, rabbits will not jump high over barrier. I did post some time ago about the Tomcat.
Consider sprinkling that on the borders.

My mom’s procedure is done. Good news! No sign of infection or damage to her heart valves!

Great news Karen.

Very good news indeed!

I heard on the news that our area will be expected to see the fire weather warnings come earlier this year which despite lack of snow is surprising.

Baby rabbits can squeeze through 1x 2 inch welded wire . 2x2 will allow juvenile rabbits in . Maybe adults . Anything 3 inches or more lets them all in . They can pass through 4x4 on the run .

I have been tempted to snare them... I am not sure I would want to eat suburban rabbit though. Think of all the pesticides and herbicides they probably consume.

I guess I may have to run the added layer of wire... darn it. That shouldn't be hard though once the 2x4 wire is in place.
