since you have a raised bed I suggest building a 4x10 (or maybe even two 4x5' ) cages out of chicken wire (instructions can be found in the sq foot gardening book) Then you could even find some way to affix them to your raised bed (Maybe some sort of bent metal staple to hold the cage down) it should keep the bunnies out. alternatively you could just put up some chicken wire around your raised beds. i plan to make the cages though :)

I know it is the squirrels. There are lots of little squirrels this season because the crows came to this area and crows chase away the hawks, who used to keep the squirrel population in check. So bad on the crows. I have used bird netting, but not over the plants. I put it low and bunched up so any small creatures approaching the toms have to walk on it or through it. It is a tangle. Then I put CDs hanging off strings attached to each end of a small pole that fits through a hole drilled in a 2X2. They teeter and catch light in the wind. Spooked me a couple times. I also have started using the pee. Collect it in a bucket and toss it on the perimeter. I believe that it is only 1 or 2 squirrels that have developed this "taste" for my tomatoes. I've got an air rifle, but I live in a city and I'm not sure I want the police wondering what I'm doing taking potshots. The damage so far has been annoying though, no doubt about it.

owbist or iowagirl...I need more help.. Something is not working right. I can set up my e-mail with sound and a picture or two inserted. I send to DD or DS and they do not get music with the picture. I can go back into my e-mail Sent, pull it up and there is music and pic, just the way I want it to go thru. They are not getting the music. They are both on DSL. The other night I set an e-mail up from DD's computer, with picture and music, sent it to our home e-mail address, all I got was pic, no music. After sending I went into her Sent e-mails, pull the e-mail up and I had pic and music. Why is the music not going thru? My e-mails were being sent Outlook Express thru our Verizon address. Thru Verizon we also have MSN Premium, with an MSN address. On MSN Premium I cannot set an e-mail up with pic and music as there is no toolbar with Format or Insert it offers just only an Attachment icon. I can send the music and pic as attachments, which both have to be clicked onto to see and hear. That is not the way I want them to go. I am sure there is something I am missing to do...Been trying for 3 days now. I will appreciate any suggestions and advice. I do remember dial up connections and do not send to them, it has been not that long ago I had dial up too. Thank You!!

Like pdxgal, I've had my fridge and wall ovens next to each other for 20 years with no problem. I, too, don't want to change my electrical service for those appliances, so the new ones will occupy the same positions. That said, you should be sure to e-mail customer service of the company that manufactures your new refrigerator and ask what their policy is regarding ovens and refrigerators next to each other. GE customer service told me it would void the refrigerator warranty. KA customer service told me the warranty would still be in effect, but they recommended 3 inches between the appliances if it was possible. I am going with the KA built-in side-by-side, and I have their answer IN WRITING (love e-mail!) regarding this appliance issue. FYI: When I asked GE customer service by telephone whether their policy was "carved in stone", they said yes. But their own marketing brochures have at least two photographs where their ovens and fridges are right next to each other!
