6. Yes, indeed.

Everyone with a garden here has 7 foot fences (because deer can jump 6 feet) and even double fences, to defeat them from getting a running start. And then the gophers, moles, squirrels. I put out a plastic drip irrigation system for my three INEDIBLE container trees, and some critters chewed right through the plastic.

I visited a place that sells iris bulbs, and the people there have a big garden. The guy there told us stories of how he defends it. Amazingly, their house is surrounded by a miniature "magic garden" of plants and arbors etc. I need to share some pix of that, as it's amazing stuff. Will do so in a bit.
