Wascally wabbits!

I thought we have done as much as we could to keep those pesky rabbits out but somehow they managed to find their way in.  Pete checked our fence and the chicken wires but they are all still sturdy.  He also checked his mum's side of the garden and plugged all the holes.  However, we did find some small holes under the fence.  Those rabbits have dug their way in!

What did they do? They have eaten most of my pea plants!  The peas should be nice and tall and should be ready to flower in a couple of weeks but because of the rabbits, they are stunted and I have even lost a couple of plants - the rabbits decimated them completely so my lovely rows of peas have empty holes where the plants should be.

what's left of the pea plants

I can understand that they enjoy nibbling the pea shoots and tendrils at the top of the plants.  I thought they only target the peas but I found out that they have started eating my broccoli and cabbage leaves as well!  The healthy, luscious, green leaves have been nibbled away and now there are only two or three leaves left on each surviving plant.

Argh! They are such pests!  So Pete and I spent time to plug the holes with whatever scraps of wood that we could find to keep them out.  I also planted some new cabbage and lettuce plants in one of the planters.  This time, I covered the planter with a planting cloth to keep animals and insects out.  Hope it works.
