Do you get rabbits? This is my first year gardening and have had issues with them. I considering raised beds like you’re doing but I’m not sure if they’re tall enough to keep rabbits out.

I couldn’t tell you but absolutely should, I should set a camera up. Couple years ago we got voles, but the cucumbers were fine last year.

We are right by a natural preserve, so lots of wildlife, but the bunnies/rabbits (some domesticated became wild iirc) seem to be more prominent in other communities.

We’ve had deer in the front yard, but my backyard lilies have been fine, there’s a small gap under my gate that smaller stuff can get in, like rabbits, beavers and raccoons. All the trees in the community have little cages to stop beavers.
