@human3500 No access to that bed, it was covered with no rabbit access.

Ah, i see. Here, rabbits eat the plant and squirrels eat the fruit. Full cages on many things but not the hot peppers. I let the squirrels go crazy on them.
@ai6yr Got those and rabbits. Overwintered greens mowed down
@ai6yr songbirds do that to young plants in my garden at this time of year.

@ai6yr Probably rats. We stopped planting our beloved padron peppers because the rats would come through at night and decimate the leaves before the flowers even had a chance to start.

So frustrating!

@marcfranz8 LOL it's a tossup between the rats and the squirrels. We put a surveillance camera on the plant to see what it is.
@ai6yr @marcfranz8 I had a backyard garden with green peppers and just before the peppers were good to pick, the squirrels got to them first. :)
