I have one rabbit that has been making a real nuisance of himself... and slugs are a constant problem in my rainy pacific northwest garden. Hopefully the rain will ease up for you soon and the garden can leap into growth mode.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-89640931350439864182011-05-23T17:28:38.343-04:002011-05-23T17:28:38.343-04:00It's exciting to see all your efforts producin...It's exciting to see all your efforts producing positive results.

Sorry to he...If it's not one thing its another! Sorry to hear that you too are suffering from too much rain. And those darn rabbits. I had one year, two years ago, where they were eating everything and I had to build a fence like you did. Luckily, that was a one-year deal. I still have the cute little guys, but they haven't eaten my stuff again like they did that one year. Here's to less bunnies and snails and much more sunshine!Lexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11067337116117320740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-77231413285222412972011-05-22T20:48:44.322-04:002011-05-22T20:48:44.322-04:00Granny, This weather is absolutely ridiculous.

It seems like we are all dealing with issues this year!<br /><br />Jane, I have never seen weeds grow so fast in my entire life!<br /><br />Villager, Yeah, what's with that??? It's like a child proof container. The only one that can open them is a child!!!<br /><br />tami, My bunnies laugh at me! I was telling "The Italian" that I think I will start making friends with them. Then I could catch them easier!<br /><br />Daphne, I hate to say it....the word has yet to spread about all the wonderful veggies you have to eat in your new garden :)<br /><br />Shawn Ann, Every year it is something different....but, this year it seems like it's everything!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-78687989478257498482011-05-22T19:01:52.599-04:002011-05-22T19:01:52.599-04:00seems like their is a new critter to fight off eve...seems like their is a new critter to fight off every year doesn't it!? I had to put up fencing around my raised beds too. I think it is a cat though, it keeps trying to make a bed in my garden or poop in my boxes!

I hope you catch a break soon. I still think bunny stew sounds appealing right now.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-22524470853097164272011-05-22T17:10:44.296-04:002011-05-22T17:10:44.296-04:00I agree with the kooky weather.

Highs in the mid 90's.<br /><br />The bunnies in my yard laugh at my 3 dogs. "Suckers"...I can hear them laughing.

I sometimes feel I'm building a fortress, what with chicken wire, bird netting, deer fencing, etc. It's amazing, even though I have a hard time getting to the plants it seems all the pests can find then with no trouble!Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-34506919744108105872011-05-22T15:42:21.842-04:002011-05-22T15:42:21.842-04:00Amen!!! to a strange gardening year.

Birds came in and ate almost an entire planting of carrots this week...they left one carrot. Now I have to go put bird netting over the newest carrot bed before the plants emerge, and replant the other one.

Yesterday was beautiful and I spent all day at the Haven Garden... today wanting to work in my garden and it is so windy this morning and cold! Best of luck with the critters. I'm fighting with a gofer over at Haven. He has decided one of the beds would make a great home.Liisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09106496040776722982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-62254625273816970592011-05-22T12:28:49.370-04:002011-05-22T12:28:49.370-04:00It just seems unfair to work so hard and have crit...It just seems unfair to work so hard and have critters mess up your garden...at least you know who is doing it.
