Last year, I fenced around my garden to keep animals out (especially the cats). I also just left it to get overgrown in the fall because - life. So it stayed an overgrown, weedy mess all winter.
Now it's time to clear it out and plant stuff. So I pull the big weeds, till, plant, and do a small area at a time. The trauma - i was tilling a row (small tiller, doesn't go very deep, have to make a million passes) and tilled right over a bunny nest - with baby bunnies.
I saw fur and movement and noped into the house to send someone else out to investigate.
The bunnies were ok, apparently I just got the top of the nest. So we covered the nest back up, but it didn't work too well because I had tilled up the fur. So I propped cardboard up over it to keep it protected and still let the bunny mom get in and out. That was a few days ago, and they seem to be doing well, so I think the mom is still taking care of them.
Then I checked the rest of the garden - yup, bunny nests every****where. And the moms are eating my strawberries apparently.
So that garden is useless until baby bunny season is over, which - when the **** is that? I'm starting a new garden spot to get my plants in the ground, but how the heck am I supposed to get all the baby bunnies out of my "real" garden?!
I'm starting to really dislike bunnies. Not enough to send the cats in, but it's close.
