A blog about my efforts to be a little more sustainable than I am, to be a little more independent than I am, to live a little better, in the Chicago suburbs.

Rabbits and Wind
Wow. Hard day for the garden. Got home last night just ahead of the storm and found rabbit damage in my raddichio, broccoli, and cabbage.
I haven't put cages on all the tomatoes and the 70 mph winds last night did some damage. Will have to sort it all out and keep my fingers crossed.
Mr. Rabbit, who has always been a polite and reserved fellow who only eats the weeds and never gets into the beds, was apparently a Ms. Rabbit. And now I have one her unruly youngsters who has a perfect sense of timing. Each morning, somehow just before I get out there, he or she nibbles away every single ripe strawberry.
Then she just watches me from my own front yard as I hop about and curse.
I found chipmunks eating our strawberries and beets. Time for war!

At least it still eats my weeds.
