Afternoon, Wayne- I fight deer all the time but don't have the right
or equipment to plug them at night. But I have 4-6' welded wire
fences around all my growing beds because they get more obnoxious every
year. While deer can supposedly jump 8 feet high they won't jump into
an enclosed area without a clear landing spot. I also have some
heavy fence posts with wire strung between them at 1' or less
horizontal intervals and frequent vertical bamboo poles to stiffen it
up. That seems to work well most of the time.
Plants are amazing, provide the right conditions and get back the
desired results. I find that greens can be grown in less than ideal
light conditions and are very healthful. Best seem to be kale,
collards, turnips (leave some in ground for greens in spring); I'm
trying to find greens that are annual that make a lot of leaves, right
now I'm picking and making myself cook some that go to seed while still
small, it takes a lot for lunch but at least I'm eating them. I'm
growing greens and some easy annual flowers in what is supposed to be a
flower bed so in the winter I can blanket it in newspaper and not have
to weed the next spring to plant it again.:-)

Adequate sunlight is a requirement, even I can not grow without it.
It can be so simple it is amazing, when a few basics are done
right.
After the basics, one can play with the more technical stuff, if
they desire.
Plants and animals have always amazed me at their intelligence.
The deer are giving me problems and I have never liked to hunt at
night.
But when they start walking over and breaking my cantaloupe and
watermelon vines, I get upset. Not to mention they are eating the
peas and soon the corn.
