Something ate most of my zucchini plants. Most of the slugs are dead now. Squirrels?

I need to plant some more in a few days.

I have Squirrels all over the place and they have not bothered anything in my garden yet. I started my zuks early(inside) and when I transplanted them they were about 2-3” tall and protected them from a couple of late season cold snaps ... they are huge with leaves 10” across and shadowing out some near by carrots!

No! Stop! DO NOT plant anymore squirrels!

Oh, wait—you meant zucchini....

Squirrels seems to eat anything. Have been using dried blood to deter them and it works, as well as supplying nitrogen to the soil. When I transplanted tomato plants to a bigger planter this morning, added dried blood and then put a chicken wire cage around the edge of the planter and tied it to the large tomato cage. Pulled up half my lettuce crop from this transplant operation as it is getting too warm for them. Still have a large amount of lettuce and arugula growing in the shade.
