I'm STILL having trouble with rabbits but I've been having some success
with a product called CritterRidder (from Safer). It's a pepper concoction
that you sprinkle on the garden.
It's not 100% effective though. It seems that rabbits love new growth on
roses and crocus so much that they're willing to put up with "itchy" noses.
But they've left the other plants alone.
I've put rings of chicken wire around plants that I absolutely don't want
to lose. Chicken wire is unsightly but the best thing until I find another
solution.
