I can only manage to get a little lettuce. I have to put a cage around

ornamental. Now the deer eat everything.

Time for a fence, and a dog or two. :-)
I have a small herd (of deer) here on this street and they graze on the
lawn across the street from me.

They've never bothered my gardens...

My fences are only 6', well within the hight for a deer to jump, but the
dogs discourage them!

If its a small garden, 5' fence will work. They (deer) seem to need
adequate landing area, even though they really don't.

If you want to go cheap, use t-bars, 4' fencing and string some barbed wire
at the top. Still need adequate corner posts.

Or, you can get each deer its own collar. Put an invisible fence around the
garden. Merry Christmas.
