‘Ob This aud That
by the editor’s wife
Rabbits like the first
tender green leaves of bean
plants!
This fact is probably well-
known to most people, but it
came to us with the force of a
new discovery last week!
In our garden, which is a
pet project this year, we
planted, among other things,
two rows of bunch beans. At
the proper time after
planting, little green sprouts
pushed through the ground
and unfurled into shiny
green leaves.
Then bingo! Inexplicably
to us, the green leaves
disappeared, leaving only a
stubby stalk. We did not
understand. A little later,
sitting on the porch, we saw
what had happened. A little
brown rabbit came hopping
into the yard, nibbled briefly
on the row of lettuce, and
then settled down to finish
the few bean leaves that
were left!
What to do? Someone said,
“Put moth balls in between
the rows. Rabbits hate moth
balls!”
Another person said, ‘‘Put
a little wire fence around the
beans.”
