Rabbits and Ants

I got Matthew to take a nap around 11 and went out to do some weeding in the garden, only to discover that the rabbits ate my peas.

Out of a 20 foot row of peas, only a dozen plants remain. Of those dozen, most are short stumps. Only 2 are untouched. I suspect the rabbits have been thinning the spinach too, although there are still enough healthy plants I can't tell for sure. And the lettuce are too young for them to even bother with yet.

To add insult to injury, several ant colonies have taken up residence in my garden.

I think I'll be needing some fencing for the rabbits. That won't help my peas though. (Sheds a tear.)
