Here at the community garden the veggie plants are being eaten by deer and
ground hogs. The only ting that is going well are beans and corn. They are
eating everything squash, tomato , peppers etc.Hoe do farmers tolerate this?

In Texas, we use what is called the " Three S rule"

Shoot
Shovel
Shut up

This way you have meat to go with your veggies..
