The War Begins

  Now that the Great Stripped Cucumber Beetle seems to be coming to an end a new foe has risen. The Rabbit. Oh I know that the neighborhood rabbits love cabbage, lettuce, carrots, strawberries etc. -but this rabbit walks right by all of those delights to dine on seven of my tiny baby tomato plants still in the seedling tray. It takes a long time to grow I tomato by seed. I had just set the tray outside for the day to keep from getting too leggy. They were clipped off down to the ground. It feels personal. The first shot has been fired.
