Deer and squirls decimated my garden. All I have left is some herbs, carrots, a non-producing cucumber, and 3 tomato plants. I do have some volunteer lettuce that has took from the lettuce I let go to seed but they are small. I am not sure what got into the potato box but it ate half of each potato. It had 1/4 inch hardware cloth on the bottom and chicken wire over the top. I bought peas, beans, and corn at a roadside farmer's market to have something to put in the freezer. I can get squash and potatoes year round at the market.
Its really annoying when the wildlife raid the garden. So far they are not bothering mine. Considering the hours spent I'd be further ahead buying all vegetables but I do enjoy the work.
