I posted way back when that my 4' green plastic mesh fencing keeps the deer out. I plant nothing but garlic (and some bunching onions) in November, so from then until June, I am growing plants that no critter seems to bother. After harvest, I plant all kinds of vegetables, including a lot of tomatoes. I have boxed-in areas (to segregate my garlic, but the boxes remain all year) but put a lot of potted vegetable/flowering plants a within 2-3' of the fencing. Thus, at least in the deer's eyes, there is no place to safely land if it jumped the fence (which it easily can). Having no "landing-zones" in sight seems to work.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
