I've got a similar dilemma, yet I'm the same guy who posted about the one I had eating out of my hand, friendly little neighbor, some cool stories, and memories but I think he passed, was a neat little feller, but yes I sure did not appreciate sharing my tomatoes with him. He used to get them just before I would want to pick em. I fenced off the garden with used cyclone fence, he then went around it, never got in the garden again. Only the chipmunks dug under it, placed rocks at the bottom, they soon gave up too. Probably won't bother the plants hard to say for sure, but when they fruit, might be a different story. I till, plant and put the fence fabric back up, posts always stay up, not too much work to do it every year, then the critters can't get in, nice when you are away too. My buddy passed, but another one took his place, I really try not to shoot em but if he digs under the fence, unlike the other one, I'll grit my teeth and get rid of him. I put barriers up around the flowers too, the deer really do the most damage here, all that green to eat acres and acres, yet they have to get your decorative flowers and such, at night when you sleep, they decimated my unfenced garden one year.
