If you put up a protective fence, be sure that it is metal and not the
plastic fencing. Rabbits will chew right through the plastic to get at your
plants. The metal fence I have has been mostly successful at keeping the
long eared rats out of the garden except when I was not careful to seal up all gaps.

As for the beans, I'd replant. Rabbit snuck through the wire fence and ate my beans last year.... didn't really get any all season.

Good luck!
