I've had a garden for 3 years now, zone 10, and this is the first year I've been plagued with something eating almost everything. Whatever it is, they've eaten parts of the following:
jalapeno peppers
small green tomatoes (I know birds get ripe tomatoes, but eats them while they're still green!)
papaya tops and leaves of seedlings
bell peppers
watermelon
pecans (squirrels undoubtedly)
I have seen opposums in my yard, racoons, squirrels, grasshoppers, snails; my neighbors have had rats in their garden, so I'm sure, after 3 years, they've found mine by now.
Between one of my neighbors and myself we've gotten rid of the grasshoppers and snails from our immediate area, so now I'm not sure what is eating what. It's a container garden on concrete blocks 3 blocks high.
my neighbors have lost pomegranates; so far mine are still on my bush, yet-to-be-tree.
TIA for any ideas/deterrants.
