I sometimes think that one should just bite the bullet and built a  
fortress wall around the garden, like the Nearings, with a concrete  
foundation below where any mole, vole, gopher, rabbit or groundhog  
would dig and a solid wall high enough to dissuade deer, with an  
electric wire atop the wall to repel squirrels. That would leave birds.

Or, with more projects planned than years likely allowed, we can  
continue as before, plant more than we need and use what we get.
