I appreciate the good laugh, George. Sounds like the scrawny necks were not
the worst of your troubles.

Some gardeners describe what you call 'scrawny necks' as LEGGY seedlings.
They take their seedlings out into the sun for several hours per day for
some period of time to 'harden' them. Going straight from the indoor
seedling trays to the garden bed is what is dooming your plants, aside from
the woodchuck.

It is important to feed the woodchucks well - the *******s.
