Will the bunny hurt my tomato plants? [I Like Gardening]
YET ANOTHER ANOTHER UPDATE--read to the end! There is an extremely cute, tiny bunny lurking among my tomato plants. A good hiding place for him and also there's a little shade (frankly more than is good for the tomato plants). Is he eventually going to hurt my tomato plants or tomatoes? Should I be mean and chase him when I see him?
UPDATE: I just read that rabbits can eat tomatoes, but only as a treat! 🤣 I guess they are referring to domestic rabbits. They also say that all parts of the plant except the fruit are toxic to rabbits, and the fruit is also toxic when green. So maybe I don't have to worry about the bunny YET.
ANOTHER UPDATE: For more than a week a little feral kitten has been hanging around the garden. Also very cute. I put dishes of cat food in the garden for it and I plan to trap it and get it fixed. Not a rabbit in sight.
MAYBE THE LAST UPDATE: I trapped the kitten and have decided it has a forever home inside my house. She is basically friendly, often lovey-dovey but still is skittish and has her moods. She'd probably like to be free to come and go, but that isn't the plan. In the meantime, out in the garden, in the absence of a guard kitten, birds and squirrels are noticeably hanging out more, and more of my ripe tomatoes have bites taken out of them 🙁.
