The long trough was made by Oliver’s Nursery. They probably made a mold from wood. We’ll probably try something like that in the spring. We are posting some more photos of large troughs taken at Sissinghurst in England.

LOVE your long hypertufa trough! We’ve never tried making one THAT big. Was that just a huge mold?

Thanks for the fun pics and tutorial!

Teri, I queried Ruth Clausen on your question and here is what she said. “There are some plants that rabbits don’t go for I know, but not enough study has been done yet that I’m aware of. There are three options- destroy the habitat where they breed and get rid of the bunnies-trap, poison etc-ugh!

Fence or otherwise protect your garden, enclosing it with small size chicken wire or some such stuff. That’s OK on a small veggie garden but ugly elsewhere.

Apply rabbit deterrent to particularly affected plants (not for edibles)- see Gardeners Supply or Gardens Alive catalogs.

We absolutely loved reading your “story.” Thank you for being such a good (old?) customer. It sounds like you found a good man, considering he re-found Womanswork for you. Please stay in touch and send photos if you would like, to dwinslow@womanswork.com

I would love your advice on my particular problem. I have a back yard of perennials and have always a nice blooming yard. This year I have three bunnies that I have inherited. I love sitting outside and watching them hop around and play. The problem is they are chewing all of my perinnials up. What do you suggest I do to fix this problem other than get rid of the bunnies?

Reading either of those mysteries would be a perfect way to relax after a day of gardening. I can picture it now: sitting on the deck under the awning in a comfy lounge chair with a glass of minty iced tea and some lemon cookies! (My glove size is Large.)

Hey, ladies, I love you! I bought your gloves way back in 1987ish. I remember tracing my hand on the order form and sending it. After falling in love with your gloves, I ordered the pig skin gloves. (You only had 3 gloves for sale at that time, that is how new you were.) I made comments on the order form (no Internet yet) and you published them in your next catalog, on your order form and I even received a nice telephone call. My ex did not believe me about how wonderful your gloves were for gardening and for chopping wood and certainly did not approve of the price. (I thought they were worth every last penny). Well, got rid of him, but not the gloves! My new husband is buying me my gloves this time. I wonder if I am your longest (noticeI did not say oldest) customer. I bought your newly printed t-shirt when it came out. because I loved your slogan. I miss the workboots, though! Thank you for such a wonderful product, that saved my hands. I really am your 25th year customer and I always will be your customer. I am so happy that you flourished with your baby company! My husband found your web site for me, I was afraid that maybe you had not made it. Thank you so much for all you do and I hope you have Women’s Work forever! You deserve it. Maryjo
