Veggies or flowers? Mine ignore the pepper plants when I take down the temporary fence in the fall and let the chickens strip the last bit of tomatoes, etc. Only when there's absolutely nothing left standing will they start tearing up the pepper plants.

I grew some leeks for the first time last year and the few that weren't harvested were left to overwinter. The chickens headed straight for the mounded dirt around the leeks and basically scratched the plants out during their dust baths. There are actually a few straggly-looking leeks left and they are pretty much untouched.
