If that cute, little Peter Rabbit is ruining your garden, you can keep him away by planting some jalapeno or habanero pepper plants around the edges of your garden. Don’t want the peppers? Make a hot pepper spray by mixing 4 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper in a pot. Bring to a boil When cool. pour into a spray bottle to spritz your plants once a week and after any rainstorms. Rabbits don’t like the capsaicin in peppers so they move to another garden!
