Rabbit-proofing the Raspberries

The snow has melted to the ground around the raspberries. The rabbit damage does not look as bad as we originally thought because the snow protected the lower portions of the canes. Although it is not a good idea to work in the garden while it is still muddy, we will be busy in it today. To protect the raspberry plants, we will put a row of chicken wire around them. I am certain that as soon as the rabbits discover that more of the canes are exposed they will be out to eat them. So we have to be as quick as a you-know-what.
