A rabbit has been squatting on our land over winter - it ate all my brocolli, cabbage and PSB... 2 beds worth... last summer (when it arrived) it ate 2 courgette plants.
I discovered it was getting into our Polytunnel and slowly munching its way through salad leaves and summer cabbages. We kept blocking the entrances and it kept finding a way in... then it bit it's way through the plastic to get in...THEN I saw a baby bunny at the other end of the garden....
So I thought, "Damn, it's had babies"
My neighbour told me if I managed to catch it (in green netting) then she would come over with a shovel and dispatch it - She grew up on a farm and has done this many many times.
So we caught it in the polytunnel on Thursday and OH managed to block the hole in the plastic and I kept watch while he fetched the neighbour... Who, in the hurry didn't grab the shovel... My neighbour entered the poly tunnel - it was like a cage match. She couldn't catch it though and it dissapeared down a hole. The Neighbour picked up a garden fork to dig it out.... stabbing the ground with vigour, she uncovered a nest - so the bunny had had it's babies in our poly tunnel....
no wonder seeds wouldn't germinate, they had all been eaten... We didn't find the rabbit, but we haven't seen it since.... I expect it was killed, underground by one of the violent jabs of the very sharp fork
- Part 2 -
On Friday morning I walked up the garden and saw a baby bunny, it paused and I looked for some of the netting to catch it, but seconds later I saw it disappear down a hole under our hedge. I wasn't thinking straight but I knew this bunny had to go or I would loose all this years crop to it too (and before the end of the summer it could have had a few litters it's self) so it HAD to go.
I picked up a big garden trugg that, not only had collected a fair amount of rainwater but also, not having a toilet in the house, I had been peeing into it for several days.......
.....
....
I picked up the bucket (of at least 5 gallons) and poured it straight down the hole in one go..... I heard a squeek..... and I haven't seen the baby bunny since....
But here's hoping I get some broccolli, courgettes and cabbage crops this year.... I also hope to sell some produce this year....
Sorry bunnies, but it was you or me.

I made a sarky remark one time about arctic roll for dessert... and we got that the NEXT time! 
Oh yes, I watched my own mum prepare many a dinner of fat bacon & arctic roll
