How to Keep the Bunnies from Eating the Beans

I changed my vegetable garden spot this year and
am having trouble with the rabbits or deer eating 
the beans.
 
I planted further from the house and
the critters feel free
to raid my tender bean shoots.
 
 
Just look how they nibbled the tops from the bean.
Out of frustration I came up with a fast, easy, inexpensive
solution.
 
 
 
Make a dome to cover the bed.
I needed it to still let in the sunshine and the rain.
So I grabbed the closest thing I had to accomplish the project.
 
Chicken wire, gloves, and wire nippers.
(I had everything on hand, so off to work I went)
 
 
 
It took less than 10 minutes from start to finish and that included
gathering the materials.
 
I cut a length of chicken wire 2 foot longer than the bed
and started forming it into the shape I wanted it.  
I just stuck the raw edge into the dirt around the beans
and it gave it a dome effect.
 
It will be easy to remove once the beans
get bigger.  The rabbits don’t like them once
they have matured.
 
It was a quick, simple fix and I 
will be rewarded with a bean crop this year.

    Dawn, great idea! Nothing is more sad than giving your greens to a greedy rabbit! Thankfully, we don’t have any. The hawks take care of them.
    Can’t wait to see what you will do with all your yummy veggies!

    Those bunnies! We have a few but for some reason they stay out of the vegetable garden. Good idea! I do that too to keep the birds from eating my seeds before they have a chance to sprout.

    Maybe I should try this just in case we do have rabbits.
    Better safe, than sorry! Thanks for the tip, Dawn.
