Karen---I've lost so much stuff to rabbits it's not even funny. I usually end up with just lily stalks (all of the leaves stripped, or just the stalks cut off at the base). I've lost dozens of newly planted perennials that were chewed off at the base just a day or two after planting. Sigh........I know what you mean about being livid. But, what can you do? I've tried garlic, blood meal, etc. Unless you do it every day, it just gets washed away. It does make me mad to lose a hundred dollars or more of plants to rabbits every year.
Thankfully, my fall garden is put to bed. Garlic is planted, leeks and onions have been harvested; I have some plants ready to go into cold frames. Strawberries will be cut back and mulched after the first frost. I have some herbs brought indoors to overwinter, and I've started some bok choy, basil, and tomotoes that I'm growing hydroponically.
We leave on vacation on Saturday--as far as I'm concerned, winter can come at any time and I'm ready.
