Garden trouble maker

In the past few days we have noticed a little problem in our garden which in turn is starting to turn into a bigger problem. It started with the sweet potato plants and has now spread to the broccoli and parsley. What is the problem? Oh nothing more than missing leaves...literally. For the past few days we have noticed that those plants have become sticks. No longer basking in the glow of their beautiful leaves they are nothing more than sticks.
The Culprit:

Yes this sweet little brown friend is making a mess out of our garden. We found one hole which my husband covered with one of our kids plastic toys (I am guessing a Scare toy?) and the rabbit has not pushed it out of the way but somehow the pesky little critter has made it into the garden and somehow laughed in the face of my husbands fence. I for one think the little guy is cute, my husband on the other hand is starting to look up recipes for Rabbit stew. We've had a few suggestions from BB guns(which I AM NOT inf favor of) to Bone Meal..which we bought and will try, either way Let's see what happens with this little pesky critter that has decided to make a bunny buffet out of our garden. I found it funny that as we were standing there trying to figure out what to do with the situation our bunny friend ran by, as in sheer mocking of the situation I told my mom this and she said oh he wasn't mocking you,he was probably working off the yummy broccoli plant he had just eaten : /

Here are a few pictures of his handy work.

Our Garden All done

So we finally planted all the plants in our garden. All we can do now is wait. I will put some pictures in a months so we can see the difference. Here is a picture of the hard work my husband and Lo did. Enjoy.:O)

Our Garden part 2

So we are continuing the progress on our garden. Today the Hub and Lo prepared the soil and put a fence up to keep those pesky rabbits and wildlife, that might think our garden is a Vegas Buffet,away. Here are a few pictures of the work so far. Next is the actual planting. We have the plants and seeds ready, all we are hoping for is some good weather in the next few days.

Our Garden

Lo watching the tractor tilling the soil

This year we decided to start a garden. We did one a few years ago but between the getting pregnant and moving to our new home we hadn't done one for about 3 years. This year with the cost of things we decided to do one. Our next door neighbor who is obsessed with organic foods is also doing one and so her dad being the awesome man he is tilled and dug up the garden for us. Now it will be our job to figure out what we will put in and how much of it. She referred me to this great site called growveg.com which pretty much helps you set up and grid your garden and then it even tells how how close to plant things and what works and what doesn't together. This program is excellent for someone like me that is completely inexperienced at gardening. (I am by no ways making a plug...haha) It's free for the first 30 days and then you pay I think 24.00 a year which isn't' bad I guess. Either way I am still trying to figure it out so let's see how our garden progresses. I will post pictures as we go but here is the beginning product.

PLOWED SOIL
