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

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.

Birds eat veggies too.

Whatever it is is not eating the fruit, the plants are too young. The
buggers are eating the plant itself. The chicken wire works. I just bought
more chicken wire and am going to wrap the whole thing garden box.
