Greeting, We have gray water running out to where it might do some good. Water from the kitchen sink might bring a tomato seed or two. It looks like next season I could plant melons, squash, and tomatoes outside the fortified garden area.
These things the rabbits and other rodents haven't shown a liking to.

Rabbits don't seem to eat tomato plants.

Voles have liking for tomatoes, both the fruit and the plants. They don't eat the plants, just dig their burrows under them.
I have discovered and treated them to a swimming pool on the top floor (and draining down the stairs). A coyote once discovered them and did a remarkably neat job of extracting the vole with no real damage to the plant.
Voles will eat their way into pumpkins and melons to loot their seeds.
I don't suppose you have fencing for the voles, however .
