Pragmatic and industrious, the bunnies have eaten the tops off everything.
Opportunism at its height – I plant green beans, they sprout, they
needle up through the soil, emerge with lustrous, tender green leaves, and overnight
dire spindles cover the garden beds, pathetic shafts of pale green lopped stalks.
