They will eat many things... They are browsers and will roam around taking a bite of this and that, if it tastes good to them they will eat more if not they will move on to the next plant and try it out..etc.I have found where they wandered through a patch of Zucchini and taken a small nibble out of half of them.

You will find as many theories as to how to deter them as there are gardeners, some work most don't, what works one day won't work the next...Our garden has an 8 foot fence around it and that does work.We have been "gardening' for a longtime, we raise almost all of our own food for our little homestead with 2 families here and ran a nursery for about 10 years.We tried almost everything you can imagine and the fencing is the only thing that really worked.
