Would You Like Cayenne Pepper With That Salad?

After much internet research and contemplation of all varieties of urine (no really) to keep the rabbits out, I've settled on the following practices:
1) copious amounts of cayenne pepper on any plant that looks delicious
2) garlic powder around the perimeter of the farm
3) encouraging Maisy and Rosa to pee anywhere near the farm as often as possible
4) plugging up any holes in the fence that seem inviting
5) this weekend, extending the fence by burying it and also making it taller

Here's the cayenne pepper in action:



During my morning visit to the farm, Maisy and I spied a chipmunk in the farm, which has led to the additional need for wire mesh to go over the fence as well. Who knew farming would be as much about growing things as it is keeping other things from growing?

In other news during the hiatus, this shiny piece of metal combined with a pissed off delivery guy and my foot resulted in four stitches and tetanus shot. I'm on the mend now, though.
