rabbits and chipmunks (cat, animals, pepper, bird)

[Rtom45]

Those dmn rabbits! I had to replant a row of peas and half a row of sunflowers. Last year I got away without putting up fence, but as soon as I replanted what they ate, the fence went up. Earlier this year, or maybe last fall, the chipmunks got almost all my wife's daffodils. Much as I like little animals around the house, it looks like we're going to war!

LOL, what is it about Erie? My mom's garden gets munched on by rabbits every year as well. Those Lawrence Park rabbits will eat even her roses. The chipmunks skip her garden and go right for the garage and shed ... and the stored-in-plastic-bins bird food.

Do you have a cat or dog? You could try scattering the fur from the pet brush around your garden.

Another thing to try is to dilute some hot pepper sauce (like Frank's, only use the cheaper stuff!) in water and spray it on the foliage.
