WOOHOOO I have tomatoes!!! Ok here's the story......

The rabbits have been giving me fits,it's been awful,the ripped off the netting I had in place,how you ask, well they got their sneaky little paws or whatever it is that they have caught in it and in their attempt to get unstuck pulled the corner back so reveal and delicious dinner right for the taking.  But first oh they had to work up a big appetite by chewing a hole in the fensing we put up all that work they ate up all of our cucumber plants.  Then started on the cantaloupe,oy! Now mind you the heat and dry conditions have already reaked havic on the soil and plants. They ignored the liquid fense that we put on it and followed the directions to a T. Still they just had to have a taste of our plants!  Oh no not just a nibble but a whole row! I can just see it now they probably had a little party right there in our garden with the cucumber plants as the main course and the cantaloupe as the appetizer,oh what fun they must have had frolicking around,to bad I had to end it!!! The following day I went down to check things out, you know how us gardeners do, and to my horror I seen the rampage on our poor helpless little plants. I stood there thinking what on earth can I do to keep these things out. Then it dawned on me..... I remember being told by someone (sorry can't remember who) to put a radio in the garden and play it all night long. So I ran to the nearest dollar store and picked up two cheap radios and a huge pack of batteries. Brought them home and put the batteries in them,tuned them in and put them in a freezer bag(water proof) then took them to the garden. I turned them on thinking well lets just see if this is true,nothing else has worked out very well for us.  The next morning I ran to the garden and what before my wondering eyes should appear!!!!  All of the plants standing alone,not a leave was disturned,not a rabbit in sight!  I dance a happy dance,and prayed with all my might! THANK YOU! So for all that read this take this to heart, if you are having the troubles we have been having (or were) don't fall apart, just get a cheap radio and sing them to sleep!!! LOL Ok so I got out of hand there... but it is true all happend like that.  The radios are working great and we are starting to see progress finally!  The watermelon plant has 7 buds on it that I noticed today and everything is tripple in size,lots of weeds though but that will be taken care of as soon as this heat passes or this weekend which ever comes first.
