Trouble began when my daughter's rabbits started nibbling on my tomato plants. This is either Dexter or Fluffy; I cannot tell them apart. I looked into putting a fence around the garden to keep the rabbits out, but I decided that it was too much work.
How much can Dexter and Fluffy eat?
It turns out that they can eat a lot. They ate my peas down to the ground. They ate all the leaves off the string beans, which killed them, and they feasted on my strawberry plants. Now I know that I need a fence to protect my garden, and I'll set one up for next year.
Another problem is the tomato worm. I started noticing that the leaves were disappearing in one area, so I took a closer look and found this worm. It is well camouflaged and has a horn on the end of its body; I believe the horn is on the tail. Anyway, I researched a little bit about these worms on the Internet. They can destroy your tomato plants if you don't find them and get rid of them.
When I picked the worm up, he played dead. I didn't have the heart to kill him, so I threw him over the fence into my neighbor's yard. He won't mind!
