Fun thing I get to do today is add hardware cloth around the perimeter of my garden. Have to till first to lower dirt a bit and remove weeds, add weedblock then use hog rings to attach to chain links. Damn rabbits are nibbling, already ate some sunflowers, don't want them deciding they like my peas or green beans!
Before I had chicken wire around mine, the rabbits were mostly a problem when plants were small. Especially green beans. They would eat the entire plant. If they survived to about a foot tall, I could usually consider them safe.
