Squirrels got the tomatoes and dug up my onions. Rabbits ate my parsley, fennel, bean plants, young eggplants, turnips, collards, kohlrabi (okay...I got a fence that saved some beans, and the greens.) Heck, dang bunnies were even eating tmarigold buds. I planted some flowering tobacco and it's a wonder they haven't learned to wad a chaw by now.

I got peppers, though. Mostly because I planted the hot varieties.

Plant more marigolds around the garden - let the bunnies eat them.

Talcum powder, ground cayenne or other dried hot pepper sifted on and around the plants will also deter the bunnies.

You have hungry critters. Introduce a fox into the mix and your garden will be yours again. Or you'll need a permanent fence dug a foot into the ground.

I have a red and a grey fox, and I think I even have a coyote. I don't get the deer I used to see, I believe thanks to the coyote, and my foxes are fat and sassy.
