Another morning, another pepper plant bitten off and laying on its side. I think I'm going to have to fence the patch and make a "rabbit exclosure" which means dealing with all that tangle in storage over the winter.
This was the third hab plant I've lost. The Zavory was bitten off by a deer a few weeks ago, but it was growing back nicely, Then the lawn care people hit it with herbicide. But wait, it's reviving! It also went through an episode of marble-sized hail. I wonder what will hit it next.
I have a Jen The Hen French Fry Pepper blooming in a whiskey barrel, along with marjoram, basil, and a tomato. We always had flowers in that barrel; we should have grown food in it years ago. It's rabbit-proof but not squirrel-proof.
