Is there a way to prevent them from getting at the rest of all the young sprouts of vegetation(flowers and vegs) without enclosing the gardens in mesh fencing?

put bars of soap in and around your garden...they hate that
really strong smelling stuff, like irish spring and soap like that. works for deer too.

Get a hav-a-hart live trap. If you put one in your garden and put some tender vegetables in it they will go in and the two doors will close around them. Check the trap frequently. When you see the ends are down pick it up by the handle with the bunny inside and bring it to any good place more than three miles from your house. Tip it on its side slowly to release the latches and the bunny will hop out and head for cover. That is one less bunny near your garden who will not find his way back. Repeat as necessary to get them all.

I'll give away my secret for keeping pesty wabbits & deer away from my garden. Go to your local agricultural store and ask for predator urine. Usually they have lnyx(bob-cat) urine. It's expensive and you do need to reapply it though especially after it rains.It smells HORRIBLE, but you just "spot" small areas within a few feet of your garden and the bunnies /deer,get a wiff and know they had better be munchin with both eyes open! I have a few saplings within 10-15 of my garden , and I "spot " the base of them as well.depending on the size of your garden and how much you "spot", you'll get 6-8 weeks out of a pint bottle. The bottle goes for about $9 around here.No bunny tracks---no deer tracks ! Occasionally I will get deer hoof prints at the corner of my garden closest to the woods ,lol.

I would try hot pepper spray which you can get in any gardening supply place. If you keep them sprayed ( you have to re-spray after it rains) well they shouldn't bother your stuff again. You could also put some moth balls around as most animals would hate the strong smell.

Leave your hungry cat out in the garden.

I think you'd have to go with the fence.

No, not really. Have you thought of raising the beds, to your standing height.
