My cucumbers and a few of my pepper plants were snacked on. Believed by some rabbit(s). Long range plan is a better fence around the garden and some raised beds. It'll be a winter project. Some of the tomatoes were nibbled but nothing crazy.
Any other tips on keeping those bunnies away? Other than a hard fence barrier?
I like those planters. Where did you source them?

That being said, the deer have been a-holes this year. Totally ravaged my bed that doesnt have a fence.
The bunnies don’t? I have bunnies that hang right next to them and don’t enter.I have marigolds around the garden. They DGAF. I put a salt lick out to distract the deer.
motion activated sprinklers during the night time.I’m not a gardener ...like at all, which is ironic based on the Germanic origins of my last name....and It’s not even garden related per say, but the deer keep eating all my $@&! lily blossoms and the tops of all my hostas and succulents in front of my house. ?
Short of me sitting on my roof with night vision goggles and a cross-bow, does anything work?

This branch will probably break from the peaches - i should thin them, but they all look so healthy - maybe support the branch somehow

Yeah..... did i mention not a gardener. That extends to lawns as well ?. I grow weeds not grass (and not the fun kind) and I’m ok with that. Not investing in a sprinkler system, not even a hose and a battery operated timer. I had great success in 1997-99 with Home Depot 5 gal buckets and a few varieties of cherry and plumb tomato’s but haven’t gardened since. I do want to do a raised bed veggie garden next year and will probably go the galvanized tub route ala Dan’s post.motion activated sprinklers during the night time.

keeping deer away with mono fishing line works too.Yeah..... did i mention not a gardener. That extends to lawns as well ?. I grow weeds not grass (and not the fun kind) and I’m ok with that.
