It may not have been bunnies but blight. Truth is we had virtually no insect or animal damage to our garden plots.
All the tomatoes that looked so green and promising two weeks ago look like sh*t now. Terry managed to harvest a few of the golden cherries and fewer of the regular tomatoes (enough to can 7 pints) but the remaining fruits are all discolored and even the vines are dying.
The cucumbers, right next to the tomatoes, are also beginning to look like they've had it...FINALLY! In their case, I'm sure it's pure exhaustion. We easily harvested 130-140 cukes from that 8' by 8' plot.
And, while they have slowed down some, the string beans are still flowering and the ever bearing strawberries are still producing fruit.

Our tomatoes got nailed early and badly by blight. I was too busy to rip the plants out and now they are making nice green tomatoes now. If I pick them just right some of them ripen, so although we aren't having as many as we like we get some.
