The rabbits have eaten all the special plants in the garden. They're now reduced to sitting on the deck outside the living room windows and munching on fallen locust leaves.

This is a sad, sad development - for both you and the rabbits.
Oh, my, as a gardener cursed with raccoons - which I live-trap and relocate downriver to undeveloped areas - and armadillos, which are very hard to trap and are surprisingly more destructive than raccoons - you have my utmost sincere sympathy.
Just heartbreaking to walk out and find that kind of overnight destruction of hard work and considerable expense!
Thanks for all the comments. The real issue is the fact that we have rabbits living under our deck. All sizes and ages. Getting a new deck this month which should keep critters out. Once they don't have such a protected spot, I hope that will reduce their numbers.

Oh no! How many do you have? And have you tried any deterrents?

Cheeky rabbit! You need some coyotes, or perhaps just friendly dog.

I hear you loud and clear - this year has been right up there as the worst for critters in the garden.
