	This list may be of use for ornamental plants and perhaps fencing a veg area https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=209

	A chicken wire and cane "tent" buried in the ground might work. You could try something like pepper on the seedlings at the start, I would try one brought on early in a pot first to check it does no harm to the plant. Otherwise the shotgun and cooking pot sound like a good idea. :-D

	Daughter had a similar problem with Jesus a rabbit bought for grand daughter's 6th birthday (April 6th - near enough for school to start on the Governments Easter curriculum) - hence the name. Anyway, Jesus was 'free range' until he started eating every bl**dy plant. Fearing he would poison himself, he was corralled in a huge run, but still escaped. I told my daughter to buy her a guinea pig - but no, she bought a rabbit :-\| I sometimes wonder why I bother being a grumpy granny :-P

	I don't grow vegetables, but when I had two guinea pigs loose in the garden (put in their hutch at night), I, and my immediate neighbour (hole in the fence) never had to cut our grass - and there wasn't a dandelion in sight!! Two years after they died - not so much a lawn, more of a dandelion meadow :-(
