These rabbits are eating their way to and through my pole beans. As I was inspecting the Three Sisters, I saw that at least 65% of one variety of beans has been eaten to a nub. After my initial frustration, I calmed down and realized that these beans have a chance to come if I act relatively quickly.

I also realized that these pesky rabbits instinctively know that the plants that they eat will grow back...for more food. I found that the Monte Gusto variety of pole bean has been devoured the most. Although, about a third of those Monte Gusto have shown life and have sprouted new leafs for an amazing comeback story. I have made a rabbit deterrent spray a couple times now and have sprayed it on beans knowing that it won't rain for at least a few days.

Both mixtures revolved around three main ingredients: garlic, cayenne pepper, and environmentally friendly soap. The rabbits have also eaten a lot of fennel. They loved that stuff. It looked like my fennel might just be a reliable crop until it was all eaten. That was when I was naive. Now I am ready with garlic spray and and row cover. BAM!
