Eastern Cottontail rabbit habitat
In our garden, currently, 'our' rabbit hangs out here.
the 'front meadow' aka the Piedmont prairie
But all of the young okra seedlings, and a number of squash leaves in the satellite garden disappeared yesterday evening, so I don't know whether to think 'rabbit' or 'young woodchuck.'
Oh, well, we don't much care for okra (it was an experiment) and unless the squash vine borers hurry up (there have been a few casualties already), we'll have more squash than we can eat.
We're fortunate (and I'm grateful) to have plenty of space to spread out herbivore impact.
Probably the mama woodchuck will come up from the woodpile and eat all of the squash vines while we're up in the mountains this weekend and I won't sound so positive!

If only we could plan where the wildlife would set up shop. Your best groceries look pretty good to Peter Cottontail and Mrs. Woodchuck too.
