    Post rabbit apocalypse update:

    Peas and beans are slowly recovering and sprouting. Some of the beans survived the attack and are sprouting new leaves. I don't know when they will start giving me beans again. I replanted most of the peas and this time the snap peas decided to sprout! They are growing about an inch every day and the snow peas are slowly sprouting and recovering. No idea when I'll start getting peas either.

    Carrots look like their foliage is recovered, but I don't know what it did to the actual carrots. I'll pull one up in a few days and see if they are edible.

    Green onions are growing. I'm not doing green onions again next year. I don't really know why I did them this year.

    Strawberry plants are growing stupid, but not giving me any fruit. I don't know why I planted them inside the garden... Rabbits don't mess with them and they are perennials. I think I'm going to transplant them to somewhere else in the yard soon.

    I'm going to have hundreds of Roma tomatoes in a few weeks... Romas are going to be in pots next year. They are crowding each other out and taking up a ton of space. As I said at the beginning of this thread, this is really just a big science experiment for me and I'm learning as I go! Another lesson learned: I'm going to plant things very differently next year. Trellis-climbers will be near the center with shorter things around the outside. I might do potatoes, squash, and zucchini in pots too.
