Stop that Bunny!
Last week, I was talking to my four year old nephew, Braden, on the phone. He told me about his day and that his favorite part was when helped his mother give the vegetable garden a little TLC. (Yes, he said TLC!) Since tending to the garden was the highlight of his day, Braden went into great detail about it. He told me about how they’ve been having an issue lately with the neighborhood “bunnies” taking their freshly grown tomatoes to their homes for their “baby bunnies” before they were even ripe. (In his four year old mind, the worst part - was that the tomatoes weren’t even ripe yet!)
I then proceeded to ask him if he ever wanted to eat the tomatoes himself or if he was okay with the rabbits taking them. In true fashion, Braden responded that he would like to share with the bunnies, but maybe not let them take ALL of the tomatoes, since they are his favorite from the garden.
Braden’s vegetable garden does not have a fence which is why the rabbits were getting a little too friendly with it. I suggested to him that they should really put in a fence before it gets out of hand and he agreed.
Although Braden is only four, we often times over look the little things like utilizing fencing for our vegetable gardens.
Right now is the perfect season to grow some of your very own vegetables and herbs so before those rabbits start growing accustomed to taking your tomatoes, call Paramount Fencing at 407-341-2720 so they can build a fence customized just for your vegetable garden!
