Rabbits

[burnie]

Snow has now gone exposing my cabbages, well to be accurate the stems of the plants, tops all gone bar 1, pesky rabbits might just end up in a pie............grrrrrrrrr.

Rabbit stew, yum yum!

I feel your pain Burnie, only my pesky nibblers were Muntjacs. Hope you get shot of them soon!

Do you know rabbits were confined to managed warrens for many years in this country, and only subsequently escaped into the wild ?

Warrener being a surname derived from this occupation.

I did not, nickdub. Hard to believe given the numbers I used to see in fields alongside the railway line during my weekly trips from London up north, where Mr Snoop-to-be used to live. Surprising amount of info on Google about it. The things I'd never know if it weren't for Google...
Here's just one document for anyone else interested: http://www.heritage.norfolk.gov.uk/r...rrens-(Article)

Sorry about the loss of your cabbages, Burnie. I'd be devastated if they were mine.

[Nicos]

Very frustrating for you Burnie.

(Interesting to hear and read about bunnies though nick and Snoop )

I guess I shouldn't have removed the chicken wire until after I got some new stuff to replace it, they were the only brassicas I'd grown last year, it's usually the caterpillars that get them, nature eh?
