We have at least three rabbits roamin our 1-1/2 acre propriety. So far,
I've planted nothing they want - they seem to be content with the clover in
the yard. I am wanting to plant some lettuce and spinach for the fall, I
think that is where the trouble will start.

I just don't have the heart to kill (or even trap) these cute little
creatures.

Try to think of them as rats that hop, it helps. Although wild rabbit,
properly prepared can be delicious. then there's tree rats, aka
squirrels; and sky rats, aka pigeons.
