Rabbits wiped out my cabbage.
Same here. I may get two heads, but I’m certain to get one. I had only planted six. I’ve learned my lessons with the bunnies, although I’ve been a slow learner.
One thing I did while I was trying to get them out and fix my fence was to throw wildlife netting over the cabbage and some of my other bunny food crops. Works great. But I thought I had the problem solved and removed it too soon.
Put it back down, worked on fence again, and now the bunnies really can’t get back in - but the deer have started jumping in. Four foot fence..no problem. But as I had left the netting in place, the deer didn’t eat anything in the garden but snow peas. I’m looking into razor-wire for next year.
Sorry. Wish I could have prevented my problem with a pellet gun.
1” diameter hail probably wiped out my entire garden 8/9/11.
Melons, cucumbers totally defoliated. Almost all tomatoes knocked off of plants. Most peppers damaged. Pumpkin plants gone. Some corn blown down.
Not all, as I plant it in trenches and “hill it up” so I still think I will have a decent corn harvest, if it cools off. It has been so hot, the corn matures before the ears fill completely. I think it is a failure of the pollen to be fully effective.
