The rabbits are eating my new strawberry plants! I bought a six pack of plants at the Potsdam Farmer's Market on Saturday. I just put them in the ground yesterday and they are already getting nibbled. The hanging baskets I planted earlier in the spring are doing well and are out of reach for now. Hopefully my makeshift scarecrow will do the job of protecting them...

I'll try to get a picture of the sneaky (though cute!) little buggers if they come around again!
