Our dill is getting eaten, cut off about 6" above the ground. The
beans, tomatoes, beets, and lettuce are (so far) untouched. I think
there's a woodchuck around, though I haven't seen one lately, and I
haven't found a hole under the fence. Could it be deer?
TIA,

My guess would be baby swallowtail butterflies. :-)
They do a number on dill and parsley which is why when I do plant it, I
plant extra, and I plant Anise for them as well so I can relocate the
little buggers to it when I find them. I have no use for Anise....
but I do love swallowtail butterflies so I don't kill them. G
Plant more.
And plant parsley.
Check for caterpillars at dawn and dusk.
