Rabbits got into our beets! Argh!!

This morning when we got up, the tops had been eaten off of three or four of the beets, and a couple of them had been pulled out of the ground in the process. It had to be rabbits. A smaller rodent would have eaten lower leaves, not the tallest ones, and probably would have eaten the roots. We rarely get deer around here, and deer would have eaten them all, not just a few.

Dang! I was hoping Janey had scared away the rabbits. I don't know what we can do about this. The bed really isn't set up to be fenced effectively. Next year we're going to build a raised bed for the veggies, maybe that will be easier to fence around.
