Tips from those that also have wild rabbits in their garden

Previous owner planted the garden very well given the number of wild rabbits that roam our garden. I was a bit angry when they ate my new parsley last night - a foot off the ground but I think they must have climbed on the compost bag next to it. I do have a veg patch protected by chicken wire. Other than potatoes and onions is there anything that I can grow in the other veg patch that hasn't got chicken wire round it? She has planted raspberries, gooseberries and blackcurrants - don't rabbit eat these?

Had a 40ft town garden, now have 0.75 acres... help

Oooh, badgers can be great to watch. They're just about the only wild beastie we've not seen here. MIL has them though and they can make a real mess of the lawn can't they.

Oh great have a good patch for courgettes and pumpkins. Will grow tomatoes in the greenhouse the blighters can't get in there.

Our pesky furry friends didn't bother with the squashes, pumpkins, courgettes etc. last year. Or the tomatoes come to think of it.
