I only have 3 foot fencing around my garden, my neighbor suggested getting the electric fence she has to keep things out. Might be a good idea

Dude, if it can jump a 3 foot fence, an electric fence isn't going to stop it. I have a 5 foot deer fence and they can jump it though they rarely bother. That mostly stopped the one year they nibbled three sunflowers to nubs, chomped on a few unripe tomatoes and cucumbers and didn't like them. If they can go over or under it, they will.

I haven't seen them in the garden yet, but the plants have only been in there less than a week. I have to do something extra if they are ripping up flowers next to my house

Cayenne pepper tea spritzed on those will put a stop to that.

That sounds like a good idea. My dad wants to spread rabbit blood everywhere, that's what worked when he was a kid.

Sounds like it fires off the fight or flight reflex. If something is killing rabbits all over the place, it can probably kill them. Might be less "messy" if you get some wolf or coyote urine and spray that around instead.
