I also forgot to mention that my garden has more than normal amount of bunnies. I have domestic rabbits and a few got loose and have formed a "wild" warren that consists of the domestics and a few extra wild ladies. The domestics I can still pet. The whole bunch will follow me up and down the paths as I walk. So, you can say I'm an "expert" when it comes to bunny damage. lol Marigolds DO work.

Well then, I'll just buy more marigolds <g> I buy buckets of them for the
porches because of the mosquitoes, so now I'll just spread them around.

Lynda,
I have found that anywhere I plant marigolds NOTHING bothers. No voles,
no
bunnies, no deer. If I plant green beans without marigolds, nothing will
survive. Something will always crop them to the ground before the beans
even come on. Same with green peppers. Without marigolds I find vole
diggings throughout. With, not a one. I buy marigold plants already
started for this because I want the plants up before the beans do. If you
have facilities to start them yourself, it would be a big money saver. I
grow in raised beds. I plant the dwarf marigolds about every foot around
the edge and a row of giants about every two feet down the middle. Looks
cool too.
