Thanks for your question.
Rabbits can be a problem. I say this from many years of personal experience. Especially at this time of the year they are very hungry and are in the process of producing little bunnies who will soon partake of your garden. I consider this as the price I pay so as to live among other living creatures. In all honesty, there is no quick solution other than fencing everything in. I realize that to do so entails much work and creates an unsightly picture, but there really is no other alternative. You can buy rabbit repellants, as I have done, but they will only work for a short period of time. Once a rain occurs, the repellant will wash away. The only bright side of all of this is that as our season progresses, the rabbits will move on and won’t be as much of a problem. In the interim here is the best resource that I have:

Good luck. Your dogs may be your best preventative measure.
