Rocky Mountain Gardening: The Deer have found my garden, 1 by rutholive

I have lived here 15 years and the deer know very well where my 5 1/2 acres are. I have around 3 acres fenced in with a redwood fence 6 to 8 feet high. There are 2 walk thru gates and one drive thru gate. Al long as the gates are closed the deer can't get in.

A couple of days ago I forgot to close the drive thru gate and deer got in and ate most of the volunteer Morning glories that came up in the tomato row, and nibbled a couple of tomatoes. Here is a picture of the cattle panel enclosed tomatoes. Works very good to hold up the tomatoes and I can easily reach thru to pick the tomatoes. I think you can see the redwood fence up the hill in the background.
