Re: Nobody's Just The Only One.......
Kathy,
I have jack rabbits also. I use fine netting to cover the plants as
they sprout. I have noticed that the rabbits do not bother the plants once
they get to the stage where they begin to vine. I am theorizing that the
leaves are too tough and the vines are covered in those fine hairs, making
them unpalatable to the rabbits. Last year the rabbits chewed off all the
first and second leaves. My husband thought it was hysterical to hear me
cursing the very same animals I was calling "cute little bunnies"just a few
weeks earlier. I had to start over. If jack rabbits ever become an endangered
species, I will not campaign to save them. (joking)
