I have a patch of ground in my backyard. It’s only about 18” by 10 feet. I’m thinking of putting some veggie plants in but there are deer and rabbits all over the neighborhood. Not sure if it’s worth the effort.

My other idea for the area is a native plant/insect friendly patch.

Anyone have ideas or suggestions about how to keep the eaters out of a veggie patch or the native plant idea? I do have a fence up but it’s only about 3 feet high and is rabbit-permeable.
