So this is just some of the damage raccoons did last night. Can I save the herbs? If I dig them out and replant them? How does everyone keep raccoons out of their gardens?

I used cayenne powder when chipmunks were attacking my garden, I don’t know if it’ll work the same though?

Yes to digging them out and replanting them and to keep raccoons away I use oriental poppies and rose bushes but some other repellents can include lavender, pepper plants, etc.
