     i've never seen a raccoon liking them, but there may   
   also be a first...  :)   
      
     i recently heard of some crows taking a liking to some   
   leafy things like kale of all things.  a lady had her   
   garden shredded by a family of crows.

     i need to survey things today after the recent   
   rains/storms.  i think most of the gardens are ok   
   with perhaps just a few plants knocked over.

     turnips, beets and carrots are more cooler   
   weather sprouting crops so you may not be   
   impressed with the results.  radishes too..   
   i have used them as cover crops because seeds   
   for turnips and radishes are very inexpensive   
   but most of the crop isn't food for us.  oh,   
   but i have heard of people who like turnip   
   greens (and i like radish sprouts - i usually   
   eat them when i'm thinning).   
      
     you might do ok with succession plantings of   
   beans.
