People have ways and you can google that. It won't be perfect. We don't have a lot of rabbits but we have groundhogs, chipmunks, squirrels, deer, and lots of birds. Our strategy is basically:
1) grow things like wildflowers that don't get eaten (but do get pollinated)
2) grow things that produce more than you need (tomatoes in our case, but summer squash is another good example)
3) grow things that produce more than can be eaten by the critters (pumpkins)
4) grow things that most critters don't want (chili peppers, basil)
5) enjoy the fact that some critters got something to eat, instead of treating it like a problem. We don't try to keep anybody out of anything.
#5 is easier for us than it is for a lot of people, I'm sure, but it's easier if you get #1-4 right. If I were growing things that took lots of effort I might be annoyed but where we live (southeastern Pennsylvania), most things just grow.
