So, any recommendations on a good greenhouse?

Or what you use for a cage.

Squirrels have decided to also nibble on my plants.

Trying to stay positive here ...

Dang. All the rodents are teaming up against your plants? Maybe get a squirrel defense 500 (panman's chicken coop.)

You could try a cold frame, or this one: https://www.aosom.com/item/outsunny-3-t ... I6MTI0fQ==

Aosom makes good greenhouses, I own one of them.

There's always the option of getting a high security vault, fixing it with grow lights, and put all your plants in there. Then maybe think about getting some guard dogs. While you're at it, make a barber wire fence around the vault, and then surround the area with mines.

(Ok, time to be serious again.) Maybe a cat could help. I've never had problems with squirrels or mice.

And add machine guns with motion detectors....

Add lasers, and missiles...

Maybe a couple nuclear bombs... Oh wait, you would destroy your plants with those.

@slicric78 did you ever have problems with critters before?

Nope. Moved here a few months ago and they are all over me.

Leaning this way...

Electric Fence/wire? zap them a..holes

I've had success with simple DIY wire mesh covers to protect outdoor plants. I used something similar to https://www.lowes.com/pd/Garden-Zone-Ac ... 1000552855. Just cut to size with wire snips (wear gloves!) and bend to enclose seedling trays, pots etc. Could be useful as a temporary measure while you prepare your new greenhouse or high tech defense system

I made this out of trash I found in a dumpster (broken pallet, used chicken wire). The top is unframed, so critters can’t perch on it and poop on my stuff. We have digging critters, but I built the cage to exactly fit my plants to the edges so nothing can dig in.

The turkey looks hungry. He seems to be eyeing your plants.
