Nemesis of my garden

I may have discovered my garden problem; I thought it was deer eating up my plants. Maybe I need to cook some jambalaya. It’s difficult enough, on a part- time basis, to keep my gardening ahead of the weeds. Then, what the weeds don’t choke out, this guy eats. I found him hopping around the yard, apparently checking whether there were any new edibles planted; he doesn’t seem to like squash or tomatoes. I’ll try stringing some wire to keep him out of my fall planting; and a short fence will also keep the armadillos from rooting in the garden. They’ll be easier than contending with deer; I may need to just plant extra for the fence- jumpers.
