Maybe putting hot sauce on the green beans made the bunnies mad. Looks like they’ve gone out and found some muscle in their fight against the humans in the garden.
Half-eaten tomatoes and big bites out of cucumbers aren’t the work of rabbits; then today Bud saw a big groundhog waddle out of the garden between the rows of tomato plants. I think he was carrying a basket of tomatoes and cucumbers with him.
I went down and picked what was ripe (why doesn’t anything but bugs ever bother the zucchini? - I could afford to lose a few of those). I finally got my first ripe tomato of the year. Not the first one of the garden mind you, just the first one the critters left for me.
Look on the bright side. Rachael came home from vacation and found a dead skunk in her garden.
