Tracy the taller beds and containers are about 2 feet high.  I know there
are ground hogs out there, but I also have lots of rabbits and squirrels.

Would it help to put a short fence around the plants?

Nella, you give me hope!  How tall are the pots/beds they don't bother so
much?  I gather groundhogs are pretty big, though I'm not sure just how big.
Smaller than a Labrador, bigger than a yorkie; that's as close as I can get.

Tracy I do seem to have less problems with the taller pots and taller raised
beds.  I have a couple raised beds that are rather low and some of those
plants get chewed on.  I had tomatoes in there last year and something took
bites out of several of the tomatoes.  It wouldn't make me so mad if they
could just eat a few of the tomatoes, but why do they have to go around just
taking bites out of different ones?

Nella, I know you grow a lot in pots.  Do you think that discourages
critters like rabbits and groundhogs?

If the little buggers would just stick to eating grass, they could bring all
their kin to my yard.  But they're groundhogs, not groundsheep.  Still, if I
could make my stuff harder to get at, maybe they'd move on to my neighbors.
Mwa-ha-ha.
