I live in FL and I have built garden boxes that stand about 40+

So I build some chicken wire boxes, spinach safe now. Then they when
after the radishes. Covered those. Then the swiss chard. Covered
those. Then the Cucumber plants. Ate all of those. Now they are
going after the tomato plants. Whatever it is is not eating a lot
but eating each night. I don't think rabbits can jump that high. I
do have squirrel and raccoon in the area. Any ideas.

Deer? Squirrels and raccoons will dig stuff up but deer will eat
practically anything.

They are not digging, just eating. No Deer where we are. Maybe
rabbits somehow jumping. We have wild cats too.


Are there any scats?
