Rabbits nest in my raised veggie garden

[Arriga]

How do I get rid of them? And will I be able to plant in that spot and bed? Thank you in advance.

if there are babies in the nest, you need to be either ruthless or patient...

Once they are gone, build a secure fence around the veg garden. Rabbit wire fence works.

Is it safe to plant in that area? I have 2 more cuke plants that I need to plant.

I don't see why not. Rabbit poop is used directly in the garden no composting. Were you concerned about anything else in particular?

Are you talking about leaving them there and they might eat your plants?

[Arriga]

Just wondering safety wise to eat veggies that may transfer some type of disease and whether they will attempt to stay there in my raised bed.

Wash your veggies with water, they'll be fine. They'll move out when they're old enough. When they've moved out, put up a barrier.
